I am noticing alot of new hybrid dpt programs. I am assuming it is because of the pandemic. I was wondering if this would harm the profession in any sort of way. Will we see more saturation in the future?

I did online program. It's fine. You still do all your hands-on classes in person. The difference is that you don't have to sit at lectures and drive to school every day. You read the material on your own instead of listening to it in a classroom.

Not all new hybrid programs are related to the pandemic. And not all are accelerated. Delivering a curriculum in a hybrid manner is entirely consistent with what is now known about the neuroscience of learning. Interested in why you think this type of curriculum delivery will "harm the profession."
