The program runs for 36 continuous months beginning in June and includes 34 weeks of full-time clinical experiences. The DPT program is designed to prepare scholarly clinicians, educators, collaborative clinical researchers, administrative managers, and community leaders. UCSF's physical therapy program has maintained continuous accreditation status since the inception of its certificate program in 1942, and the program has been jointly offered with SFSU since 1989. The program accepts 50 DPT students each year. Our students come from varied academic and cultural backgrounds and experiences. Students' baccalaureate majors range from business to anthropology, exercise science, psychology, English, kinesiology, and many more. The program also participates in numerous outreach events targeted to underrepresented populations in the physical therapy profession. Diversity in the student body strengthens the program and reflects on our constantly changing world.
