Overview

The Health Studies program at Boston University reflects these professional needs. The essential components of physical therapy education include the development of a strong foundation in the basic sciences, synthesis of a body of applied scientific knowledge, the adoption of a professional code of ethics, the demonstration of a commitment to professional values, and the ability to communicate effectively, solve problems creatively, and to administer and evaluate treatment effectively and efficiently.

All students complete supervised clinical experiences at selected facilities that give the students exposure to a range of physical therapy practices and settings. Affiliated institutions are located in the greater Boston area and in many areas across the United States. Availability of clinical sites for any one clinical experience is determined by the PT program’s directors of clinical education and the individual clinical site. Students are advised that there will be additional costs associated with housing and transportation needs during each clinical experience.

Students will:

Describe the complexities of: US health policy and healthcare delivery, human development across the lifespan, rehabilitation, and disability.
Demonstrate foundational knowledge in the biological, behavioral, and exercise sciences.
Identify key behavioral attributes of the physical therapy profession, including insight into communication and interpersonal skills needed by physical therapists.
Demonstrate effective communication skills (both written and oral).
Demonstrate course content mastery required for continued matriculation into the professional DPT program.
