专业概况

在这里学什么？

The Department of Physical Therapy provides evidence-based undergraduate, graduate, and post-professional education to advance professional practice and development.

The Saint Francis University Physical Therapy Program will prepare students to enter professional practice as competent, ethical, caring Doctor of Physical Therapy. The graduates will be prepared to practice in a complex healthcare environment, demonstrate critical thinking, embrace lifelong learning, and use an evidence-based approach to support decisions and serve the needs of consumers and society.

If you would like to work as part of a collaborative healthcare team, in a practice that involves health promotion, prevention, and rehabilitation, then a career in physical therapy might be for you. Physical therapists evaluate and treat patients using a variety of physical therapeutic measures (such as thermal agents and exercise) and education versus medicine or surgery.

Physical therapy involves examination, evaluation, treatment interventions, instruction, consultative services, and supervision of support personnel. The therapeutic properties of exercise, heat, cold, electricity, ultrasound, massage, and other rehabilitative procedures are used during treatment. Areas of board-certified specialization within physical therapy include cardiopulmonary, electrophysiology, geriatrics, neurology, orthopedics, pediatrics, and sports physical therapy.

Career Opportunities

Although a large number of physical therapists work in hospitals, now more than 70 percent can be found in private physical therapy offices, rehabilitation centers, community health centers, nursing homes, home health agencies, corporate or industrial health centers, sports facilities, research institutions, schools, pediatric centers, and colleges and universities.
