I've been planning on applying to RGU in Scotland (which is CAPTE accredited). Previously they've been offering a MSc in physiotherapy. However, I just saw on their website that they now offer a DPT. This appears to be a masters degree followed by a 16 month thesis. I've never seen a DPT like...

Hello everyone, Always thought I wanted to do PT, however looking at tuition costs, it doesn't seem sensible. 100k+ is like buying a house, and with cut reimbursements as well as other factors, idk if it is worth it. I am a junior exercise science undergrad, and could pursue clinical ex phys...

Hi fellow PTs, For all those pediatric therapists out there, have any of you started out in different settings and then transitioned into pediatrics? If so, how? I have interests in both acute care and pediatrics. I'm hoping to get experience in both of those areas, but am unsure if it's...

This week I was accepted to both TJU and Temple's DPT programs. I am currently a Temple student who lives in-state (in Philadelphia) so commute to both would easy for both. I know both have excellent reputations and was hoping that people who have gone to either of these programs or had to...

I'm a california resident, debating my acceptances to UW and Regis. University of Washington is public, so I'd be paying a hefty out-of-state tuition. I personally like Seattle better, but UW would be 40,000$ more in total tuition. I liked Regis when I visited, so I feel like I'd be happy at...
