Physical Therapy Programs in Arizona - AZ

By an allied health world contributing writer
Published: February 2nd, 2010

Admission to an undergraduate program that will end in a bachelor’s degree in a science-based field is the first step in this process.  Many universities offer a pre-physical therapy program, which guide the student step by step towards a bachelor’s degree and into their chosen graduate physical therapy program.  Some institutions also have curriculums that allow a student to begin the program as an undergraduate and finish with a graduate degree without changing schools. 

Graduate programs culminate in either a master’s or a doctorate degree in physical therapy (DPT), depending on the curriculum.  In addition to the classroom and lab educational components, graduate work involves clinical rotations.  These rotations allow the student the chance to be mentored by physical therapists across the country in a variety of settings (i.e. inpatient, outpatient, orthopedics, pediatrics, etc) in order to give them more hands on experience as well as guide them towards their ideal setting.  There are a variety of Arizona physical therapy schools as well as online university options.

Through campus based and online programs, aspiring Physical Therapists in Phoenix, Tucson, Mesa and Glendale, Arizona may be able to prepare themselves for the possibility of employment in some of the largest hospitals and healthcare facilities in the state including Banner Good Samaritan Medical Center, Saint Joseph's Hospital and Medical Center, Maricopa Medical Center, and Tucson Medical Center.
