UTEP Physical Therapy

The University of Texas at El Paso Doctor of Physical Therapy Program is a three year program where you earn a clinical doctorate in Physical Therapy.

We enroll 36 students a year in the program. We hold continuing education courses for licensed PTs. 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 a

nd 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.

Yesterday’s session with Ron Rosas put clinical practice into perspective.

A trajectory marked by four-limb amputation, adaptation, resilience, and sustained participation, without simplification.

Our students were challenged to think beyond technique. Clinical decision-making, ethics, and responsibility for long-term function were at the center of the discussion.

Today, they move to practice. Hands-on experience to examine and understand his prosthetic systems in real context.

Thank you so much for sharing your life journey with our students.
