The Clinical Education program offers collaborative learning experiences that engage students, clinical instructors, patients, interdisciplinary practitioners, administrators and academic faculty.  Clinical internship sites are specifically selected and approved by the Academic Coordinators of Clinical Education when they are determined to meet the needs of the DPT Division.  Clinical learning experiences are designed to support didactic coursework and provide opportunities for development of skills and abilities that broadly represent the physical therapy profession. 

 

The Duke DPT program offers diverse clinical education experiences that, in addition to patient care, permit students to design and gain experience in administration, education, research and, community service.  We believe that such opportunities assure that students’ will develop skills and abilities that preserve patient safety, provide best practice care and, promote fiscal responsibility.
