About The Post-Professional DPT Degree (PDPT/T-DPT)

The American Physical Therapy Association describes PDPT as follows:

"The t-DPT (PDPT) degree is conferred upon completion of a structured post-professional educational experience that results in the augmentation of knowledge, skills, and behaviors to a level consistent with the current professional (entry-level) DPT standards. The t-DPT degree enables the US-licensed physical therapist to attain degree parity with therapists who hold the professional DPT by filling in any gaps between their professional baccalaureate or master's degree PT education and the current professional DPT degree education."
