Physical Therapy

"The journey to becoming a physical therapist is challenging but rewarding. Tufts offers the opportunity to take on a hybrid, accelerated format that is fast and intensive but offers flexibility and support."

After much dedication from the leadership team, faculty, and staff, the first cohort of students will graduate from a fully accredited program.

Each year, the Jonathan M. Tisch College of Civic Life selects a group of interdisciplinary faculties as part of their Tisch Faculty Fellows program as they integrate civic engagement into their work.

"Now that I’ve been in a faculty role for some time, I can say that one of the most rewarding things about this role is seeing others succeed and helping them reach their goals."

"I want to be a PT who changes someone’s life, like the PT who changed mine."

"Tufts' hybrid structure has allowed me to maximize the amount of time I spend with my family despite being a full time student."

The new Doctor of Physical Therapy programs at the School of Medicine are graduating the first cohort of students and opening new locations in the Western U.S.

"My vision for myself is to translate my passion for physical therapy education in endeavors that allow engagement of stakeholders from varied backgrounds and beliefs."

"I suppose at the end of the day I believe that helping someone introduce regular, structured physical activity into their lifestyle...can be an extremely positive and potentially life-changing intervention."
