Having seven years of experience as a Certified Athletic Trainer before joining the Dominican DPT program, I can with certainty state, that the organization of the program, knowledge of professors, atmosphere and structural framework of care have beyond exceeded my expectations. I think that after any program the goal is to not only have the knowledge, skills, and precision but also be confident in your abilities. DC DPT has given my classmates and I these attributes and I am certain we hold an advantage over other DPT program students. I fully endorse the Dominicans DPT program for not only individuals who want to become a physical therapist, but also those who are striving to take it to another level.

My classmates and I have received feedback from our clinical instructors that we are performing at an advanced level as practitioners, standing out from other school's PT students. Overall, I am incredibly grateful to have been accepted into this program and feel confident and prepared to be a medical professional. One consideration about the program is that when you go on your clinical affiliation, you still have classes, exams, and projects occurring simultaneously, which can be overwhelming. However, with the proper time management and planning, it is manageable and will prepare you to handle high intensity workloads for the future. I would have liked the program to expose us more to fellowship programs post-graduation. I also would have liked more financial support such as the white coat ceremony prep, lab equipment, and required online softwares. Overall, if you attend and graduate from this program, you will be faced with seemingly overwhelming challenges that will sculpt you into a wise, prepared, "woke" professional with the latest & greatest set of knowledge and skills for you to use to develop an amazing career!
