With more than 50 years experience preparing students for successful careers in PT, Ohio State’s doctorate of physical therapy degree program is among the very best in the country. Our well-trained faculty, state-of-the-art healthcare facilities and network of supportive alumni and mentors all add to the value of a degree from this program.

If you’re already a physical therapist, Ohio State offers several robust post-professional education opportunities. We now offer five clinical residency programs in cooperation with other programs at the OSU Wexner Medical Center and area facilities. These residencies include Orthopaedic, Neurologic, Pediatric, Geriatric, Sports, and Women's Health. Clinical fellowships in Orthopaedic Manual, Performing Arts, and Upper Extremity could take your career even farther. The Physical Therapy program is offered by The Ohio State University.
