UW-Milwaukee DPT Program

at a fraction of the cost of private schools. Our class size is one of the smallest in the state, guaranteeing you personalized attention from our award-winning faculty. You’ll be gaining experience in the community by your second week of class — much earlier than you find with other physical therapy programs. One hundred percent of our students are employed within six months of passing the licensing exam. UWM is a research-intensive university, and as such, you will have the opportunity to participate in leading-edge, faculty-mentored research as a part of the curriculum with additional opportunities for those interested. The Doctor of Physical Therapy program has partnered with the Zablocki Veterans Affairs Hospital to offer a post graduate orthopedic residency program allowing you the opportunities to develop specialized clinical skills with board-certified orthopedic master clinicians and to provide unique teaching experiences. Successful completion of the one-year residency allows you to sit for American Physical Therapy Association board specialist certification. Integrated within the curriculum is our student-led physical therapy clinic, Access PT, which has a community location at House of Peace and campus location in the Northwest Quad.
