Physical Therapy is a dynamic health care profession. Practitioners must be able to adapt to the quickly changing health care system yet continue to provide outstanding services. The goal of the program is to educate a physical therapist who is able to practice effectively, safely and ethically in any type of health care environment.
The RFUMS curriculum is designed to provide an in-depth and universal view of the profession, with an emphasis on clinical judgment based on current evidence to meet the evolving needs of society in a culturally sensitive manner. It is our desire to guide our students to develop a life long commitment to professional growth and the potential to develop into master clinicians while participating in health care management.
