Hi! This is my first thread here. I've read numerous threads while researching information about my major and found some educational responses so I decided to try it out myself. Sorry if this is a repeat thread or if this isn't the right section for this post.
What are the advantages of become a DPT over getting a masters in physical therapy? I've been through numerous websites and all say that the pay is almost identical. I've also read through threads on this website that it doesn't necessarily give you an advantage in managerial positions. I'm all about efficiency and if getting a DPT provides no advantages, I see no reason to pursue a DPT. I really would like to further my knowledge but considering the starting pay of a PT and the cost of DPT school, it just doesn't seem worth it.
