Department of Physical Therapy

Chairperson: Dr. Sean Collins
Academic Coordinator of Clinical Education: Dr. Keith Hallbourg

The goal of the Department of Physical Therapy is to prepare entry-level practitioners in exercise physiology and physical therapy. Students in the professional programs are expected to demonstrate high levels of motivation, self-direction, and commitment to their chosen course of study and are active participants in the educational process.

The faculty is committed to a tradition of excellence in education, research, patient care, and community service. As experienced professionals, faculty serve as mentors, resource persons, counselors, and role models for the developing professional. The relationship between students and faculty is based on mutual respect, understanding, and free exchange of ideas.
