DPT Student Stories

Congratulations to this year's outstanding graduates!

"I chose to pursue this degree because it's been my dream since I was a kid to become a physical therapist. The ability to help others and promote positive well-being is so rewarding to me."

"There are many amazing aspects to the DPT-Phoenix program. The instructors, my classmates, the beautiful campus in downtown Phoenix, but if I had to pick a favorite, I would say the hybrid format."

Eighty students received their diploma from the CAPTE-accredited program

"Upon graduating, my goal is to work as a U.S. military physical therapist. I plan to work alongside combat injured and active duty soldiers to optimize their health and quality of life post-traumatic injury."

"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."

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

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

"My drive now is the belief that physical therapy will be a key tool in combating health inequities within my own community."
