The DPT is an entry-level professional program leading to the Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) degree. The program is designed for students who have a bachelorâs degree and are seeking a professional licensure as a physical therapist.
As this statement highlights, the DPT program is an integral part of the APTA's continued advocacy for legislation granting consumers (i.e. patients and clients) direct access to physical therapists, rather than requiring physician referral.
