Welcome

Students from the classes of 2010 & 2011 attended APTA's National Student Conclave in Miami October 30 - November 1, 2009, and met APTA President Scott Ward. 

Physical Therapy, as a member of health care professions, provides services to mankind through quality health care by means of restoration, prevention, and maintenance. The academic preparation to provide these services is brought to fruition through an educational program that is based on a broad and comprehensive foundation from the liberal arts and the sciences.

The Physical Therapy Program at the University of Texas at El Paso recognizes that individual and cultural differences influence perspectives on wellness and disability. The educational program is designed to prepare the student to be a competent physical therapist and an integral member of the health care team concerned with the total rehabilitation of every patient by enhancing the autonomy of the consumer in reaching realistic functional outcomes, and respecting the rights of individuals.

THE PHYSICAL THERAPY PROGRAM IS IN THE APPROVAL PROCESS FOR A DOCTOR OF PHYSICAL THERAPY DEGREE PROGRAM. THE CLASS THAT ENROLLED IN THE FALL OF 2008 WILL BE THE LAST CLASS TO RECEIVE THE MASTER OF PHYSICAL THERAPY DEGREE. PLEASE PERIODICALLY CHECK THIS WEBSITE FOR NEW DEVELOPMENTS IN THE PHYSICAL THERAPY PROGRAM.
