An entry level DPT program is typically 3 years. During this schooling, you learn all the subjects of physical therapy:
Peds physical therapy
Neuro physical therapy
Ortho physical therapy
Acute care physical therapy
Geriatric physical therapy,
Vestibular physical therapy
Sports physical therapy
Musculoskeletal physical therapy
+ more
However, once you finish your entry level program, a student can decide if they want to continue their post-doctorate program and pursue further studies in one of these fields.
For example: I am thinking of pursuing an ortho residency after my 3 years of DPT school.
Residency is generally 1 year.
Fellowship is generally 1 year.
For a total of 5 years if you choose to go all the way.
Both the residency and fellowship requires students to be involved in research. Check out my research presentation for DPT school: • My FULL Research Capst...
