What Makes NUMSS Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) Program Unique?

What Makes NUMSS Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) Program Unique?

Although there are over 20 universities (all in the USA) offering the transitional Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) program, NUMSS is the only non-USA based university offering the DPT through a 100% online program. Additionally the other universities generally charge 5 to 10 times more tuition than NUMSS and they only accept US licensed physical therapists while NUMSS accepts all physiotherapists and physical therapists from every country such as India, Iran, Canada, USA, Italy, Spain, Brazil, Netherlands, United Kingdom, South Africa & Netherlands. 

Can the Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) Program Be Learned Online?

Can the Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) Program Be Learned Through Online Education?

Yes. Since 2003; over 20 universities in the USA have been offering the transitional Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) through 100% online education. The DPT program is available only to physiotherapists as a post professional degree. However the older generation of physiotherapists did not study x-ray & diagnostic imaging, medical diagnosis or manual therapy. The DPT program therefore teaches these subjects. So it is possible to learn diagnosis, radiology and manual therapy through online programs.
