INTRODUCTIONPhysical Therapy Program is housed within the Department of Graduate Programs in theSchool of Health Professions of the University of Puerto Rico in the Medical SciencesCampus. The Administrative Offices of the Physical Therapy Program are located at the6th floor (Office 604) of the School of Health Professions. It is the first and only programin Puerto Rico, which leads to a Doctor of Physical Therapy degree, which is the entrylevel degree for the physical therapy profession. The Program, offering a baccalaureatedegree, began in 1951 as the School of Physical Therapy and became part of the Schoolof Health Professions at the time of the College’s inception in 1976 and since then hasbeen accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Physical Therapy Education ofthe American Physical Therapy Association. In 2002 its offering changed to a masters’degree level, and in 2014 it was transformed to a doctoral level degree. The duration ofthe professional curriculum is 3.5 years of full-time studies, including three summersessions, for a total of 140 weeks. Admissions to the program will be considered onceevery year. Students will begin diurnal fulltime classes in June of the year of admission.They are expected to complete 132.5 credits and graduate three and a half years laterupon completion of the graduation requirements. The DPT program is not availablethrough part-time study.The program’s mission is to graduate doctors of physical therapy as general clinicalpractitioners, who provide direct clinical care, contribute to the evidence for practice, andengage in education, consultation, advocacy, and administration of services focused onhealth problems that adversely affect movement, functional activity and participation insociety. In synchrony with the mission of the School of Health Professions, we embracethree dimensions of the educational experience: teaching, research and service. Theprogram integrates these three components while enabling the graduate to respondproactively to the needs of the society in relation to the ever-changing health caredelivery system structure. The faculty aims to provide the learning environment, whichwill allow the graduate to be a competent professional, dedicated to lifelong pursuit ofknowledge.Upon the completion of this degree the graduate is qualified to work as a generalpractitioner in physical therapy and will be able to offer services in the followingscenarios: hospitals, rehabilitation centers, geriatric centers, industries, schools, sportsmedicine centers, health promotion programs, private practice, community programs, andothers. The graduate will be able to provide comprehensive physical therapy services inprimary, secondary, tertiary care, wellness and fitness, promotion of health andprevention of disease and injury, integrating clinical, administrative, teaching,consultative, advocacy, and research skills.GRADUATE PROFILE OF THE DPTThe graduate of the Physical Therapy Program will be able to:3

1. Provide comprehensive physical therapy services in primary, secondary, tertiarycare, wellness and fitness, promotion of health and prevention of disease andinjury, integrating clinical, administrative, teaching, consultative, advocacy, andresearch skills.2. Exhibit critical thinking abilities to serve as a competent problem solver capableof justifying decisions based on evidence.3. Demonstrate effective communication and interpersonal skills in all professionalinteractions including respect and responsiveness to diversity.4. Commit to self-directed lifelong learning.5. Practice autonomously and collaboratively.6. Adhere to legal, ethical, and practice standards of the Physical Therapyprofession.LANGUAGECurriculum is conducted in Spanish and English and most patient interactions are inSpanish. Therefore, fluency in speaking, writing, and reading both languages is highlyrecommended. The Program offers the opportunity for students to request clinicalexperiences in the United States. Those interested in this experience will be evaluatedbefore their clinical practice assignment in order to assess their English language skills.ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS/TECHNICAL STANDARDS FOR THE PHYSICALTHERAPY STUDENTSEssential functions, also known as technical standards, are indispensable physical,behavioral, and cognitive abilities needed to complete the curriculum for doctor inphysical therapy and to perform as a physical therapist upon graduation. Establishingthese essential functions will assist prospective students and the institution in determiningthe need to request reasonable accommodations. Students may be assisted by anuntrained aid in performing certain physical functions, such as lifting and carrying,provided they are able to give clear instructions to the aid for performing, and that the aidprovide no assistance in behavioral or cognitive functions. Currently, neither the APTAnor CAPTE have established essential functions for physical therapists. The followingare those commonly identified in the professional literature and adopted by numerousphysical therapy programs throughout the United States. Direct citations are in somecases used, although not marked as such in text, to preserve important content; sources ofthis information are listed. Students and graduates of the physical therapy program areexpected to comply with the required program criteria as specified in the studenthandbook and courses syllabi and manuals, regardless of disability status.Physical functions Gross movements required to perform physically demanding tasks as part of thedelivery of physical therapy (required to screen, exam, and provide interventions,)such as lift, carry, sit, stand, kneel, squat, bend, twist, walk on even and uneventerrains, push, pull, walk upstairs/downstairs, climb, balance Fine motor skills required to screen, exam, and provide interventions such asbilateral hand-eye coordination, discriminate touch, and control of finemovements4

CURRICULUMA. Curriculum DescriptionThe curriculum of the Program is geared to the attainment of entry-level physical therapycompetencies. All courses in the curriculum are required. The student does not select aconcentration or choose electives. Courses are distributed in the following components:foundational sciences, professional socialization, clinical skills, and clinical experiences.Active learning strategies are used throughout the curriculum, requiring the commitmentand continuous reflection from the learner. Clinical experiences are offered progressivelythroughout the curriculum, concluding with a 20-fulltime week’s internship in whichstudents are expected to demonstrate entry-level professional skills. A group researchproject is required as a pre-requisite for the internship.B.
