Our Mission & Philosophy
Our mission is:
for graduates to be entry level physical therapists who emulate the core values of the profession in their physical therapy practice
for faculty, 毕业生和学生为专业做出贡献, community and society, through education, scholarship, service and practice.
Our Philosophy
Our program and its faculty believe that the program mission can best be accomplished through a professional curriculum based upon a strong liberal arts foundation. Further, we believe that the curriculum of the professional program should place at its center the process of clinical problem solving as a construct for: 1) the acquisition of knowledge, attitudes and skills; and 2) for the process of clinical decision-making in professional practice. The application of the clinical problem solving process is patient-centered and utilizes the ability to analyze, synthesize, and evaluate the profession's body of knowledge through effective use of the professional literature and current information technologies. We believe that the problem-based learning model provides the optimal tools for developing graduates who value self-directed learning, who are prepared for the clinical decision-making demands of professional practice and who anticipate and respond to changes in the health-care delivery system.
We believe that role models who are professionally competent and personally committed to serving the greater community are best able to foster the behaviors of a socially responsible professional. 我们认为，为了有效, 毕业生必须对与他们交往的个体的多样性敏感, 以及物理治疗实践中的地区差异.
