UTEP Physical Therapy

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.

The class of 2026 are extremely moved by ’s incredible journey of resilience and recovery after surviving a traumatic brain injury.

Thank you to Jaclyn and Mrs. Pellicotte for taking the time to inspire us, sharing your wisdom, and making us laugh (& some tear up 🥲)! Most importantly, thank you for reminding us all as to why we chose this path. Your story reminded us just how powerful our impact as future physical therapists can be! What a great way to kick off our “LAST First day of school” AKA Last didactic semester 🥳🥳🥳

Lastly, shout out to Dr. Jimenez for making this happen! 🤪
