Physical Therapy Doctoral Degree Program
Our Program
Physical Therapy is a health care profession whose primary purpose is the promotion of optimal human performance through the application of sound scientific principles to the prevention, evaluation, and treatment of acute and chronic movement dysfunction.
UNM Physical Therapy Program is now a DPT Program: The UNM Physical Therapy Program is now Doctorate of Physical Therapy (DPT). Our goal will be to provide an option for those 2009 MPT students to complete DPT requirements in the Summer of 2011. Tuition will increase with inception of the DPT curriculum, to an amount comparable to that of other regional, public DPT programs. Information on this website will be updated to reflect the latest status of the DPT program.
