Course Structure
The hybrid curriculum is organized into 20 patient-based courses that integrate knowledge from each foundational practice area of physical therapy.
Students will focus on one patient-based course for a three-week period, as opposed to traditional curriculums that teach all of the term’s courses concurrently. Courses build in complexity and depth as students progress through the curriculum.
