The academic faculty are committed to providing physical therapy students with a strong background in the theoretical aspects of physical therapy as well as the clinical skills required for practice. The members of the faculty are dedicated to providing not only a positive educational experience, but also a personal growth experience for each student. In order to accomplish these goals, the physical therapy faculty members are accessible to both the pre-physical therapy and professional students to provide them guidance and assistance in planning their programs of study.
