准备
You will need to complete a bachelor's degree from a regionally accredited institution in order to be eligible for our DPT program. You will also need to complete all prerequisite courses as listed below:
课程 | 学时 | 在过去完成 |
---|---|---|
统计数据 | 3 | 10年 |
普通生物学 | 8 | 10年 |
普通化学实验室 | 8 | 10年 |
人体解剖学与生理学 | 8 | 5年 |
普通物理带实验室 | 8 | 10年 |
Psyschology | 3 | 10年 |
No, but it must be possible for you to complete your bachelor's degree and all course work before the start date of the program (last week in June). Students lacking more than 12 semester hours of prerequisite courses by the end of the fall semester of the year prior to intended entry are not considered eligible to apply.
This course is recommended, but not required as a prerequisite for the DPT degree. This course is offered at most four-year colleges that offer degrees in 健康 and Physical Education and/or 体育 Medicine. 最靠谱的网赌软件通过人体运动科学系(EXSC 417)提供这门课程。. The course may also be titled "Biomechanics" or "Applied Anatomy and Kinesiology." Norfolk State University also offers biomechanics/kinesiology.
Whether to repeat courses depends on your overall record. 一般来说,重修课程不会对你的总GPA产生重大影响. 如果你的整体成绩很好,但你这学期过得很糟糕,在解剖学等关键课程上得了C, 生理学或物理学, then re-taking that class could be beneficial to strengthen your application. 如果您不确定,请与我们联系以获取建议.
There are many good reasons students graduating from a four-year institution take some courses at a community college. 然而, an academic record with science course work completed at a four-year institution will be perceived as being more rigorous, especially if the student's university offers the science courses but the student chose to go to a community college.
是的. If you feel that there were extenuating circumstances, it might be worthwhile for you to attach a brief letter to your application explaining your situation which resulted in low grades during part of your academic career.
这两个等级加起来算平均.
Your undergraduate degree may have been completed at any time. 解剖学和生理学课程必须在最近五年内完成, 而其余的前提课程必须在过去10年内完成. 如果这影响到你, 我们建议您与项目联系,安排咨询预约,以确定您的具体情况.
Applicants need a total of 45 hours of work in a Physical Therapy setting. 工作时间可以是有偿的,也可以是自愿的. These hours MUST be completed in TWO (2) or more different PT settings. At lease twenty (20) of them must be in one or more of the following settings; acute care (hospital), 康复(过渡或日间康复), short or long term (nursing homes or assisted living), 儿科, 伤口护理专业护理中心, 或者家庭健康. Volunteer hours must be under the supervision of a licensed physical therapist.
由于Covid-19大流行, many applicants are having difficulty completing 45 volunteer/observation hours, 特别是在住院环境中. 请理解,我们打算在2021年6月课程开始前完成这些课时, 申请截止日期是11月1日. We hope that applicants will be able to complete hours sometime next spring, but if the pandemic restrictions continue into next year, we reserve the option of waiving observation hours. For now, 请 submit the hours that you have completed. 我们都抱最好的希望.
No. 最靠谱的网赌软件的课程是为全日制学生设计的,为期3年.
临床教育
在课程的早期,学生们被介绍到临床环境和人群中. 第一年包括在东弗吉尼亚医学院有标准化病人的结构化“诊所”. 标准化患者是指经过培训能够描述患者体征和症状的健康个体. “诊所”被记录下来, 学生们会收到关于他们临床表现的书面和口头反馈. 第一个全职临床经验发生在第一年的夏天,为期八周. This first-time experience is in an outpatient environment and to maximize the student's application and integration of learning from the first year in the classroom. 在第二学年, students evaluate and treat community volunteers with neurological disorders as well as standardized patients from Eastern Virginia Medical School. At the conclusion of the second year (the third summer of the Program), students spend twelve weeks in full-time clinical practice. The final third year spring semester affords the student fourteen more weeks of full-time clinical education prior to graduation.
We place students in many facilities throughout the Hampton Roads region as well as all over the Commonwealth of Virginia. 我们也有许多临床合作伙伴在东南部地区和一些更远的地点在犹他州, 俄勒冈州, 亚利桑那州, 甚至阿拉斯加和夏威夷. Students should budget and plan for at least one full-time clinical education experience to be out of the area or out of state.
The Program strongly suggests students have a vehicle for traveling to clinical sites during full-time clinical education experiences and other community-based learning opportunities.
临床教育主任(DCE)负责安排所有学生进行全日制临床体验. 每年春天, DCE从我们的临床合作伙伴那里招募名额,让学生在下一个日历年获得经验. 在夏天或初秋, the DCE assigns students to the offered slots based on student goals and interests, 教师输入, and clinical faculty or clinical site considerations. All ODU DPT students are required to successfully complete 3 full-time experiences with at least 1 outpatient experience and 1 inpatient experience (acute care or post-acute rehab). Students can also have learning opportunities in specialty practice areas during their intermediate or final experiences.

在最后一个秋季学期,学生完成主题课程,探索专业实践领域. 课程协调员会安排各种各样的学习机会,并将学生分配到感兴趣的领域. 之前的主题包括儿科学, 前庭神经康复, 体育康复, 高级手工疗法, 高级神经康复, 骨盆健康, 和体育教育. Students can also have learning opportunities in specialty practice areas during their intermediate or final clinical education experiences.
P.T. 许可证
是的. All states require that physical therapists be licensed in order to practice. Students must graduate from an accredited physical therapy school in order to be eligible to sit for the licensure examination.
