School of Physical Therapy

Program Description

The mission of the Marshall University School of Physical Therapy is to provide contemporary physical therapy education; to empower graduates and educators to exemplify excellence in clinical practice, scholarship, mentorship, leadership, and professionalism; and to engage all stakeholders in employing evidence-informed physical therapy that reflects and expands best practice.

The Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) program offered by the School of Physical Therapy at Marshall University is a full-time, three-year, nine-semester, 115-credit graduate program for students who wish to pursue a career as a physical therapist practitioner. Our inaugural class matriculated on May 21, 2012.

The curricular model of Marshall University’s DPT program is a hybrid (traditional/modified case-based model), designed in a “builds on, leads to” manner which is delivered in a full-time, in-house format utilizing lecture, labs, small group discussion, case seminars, integrated on-campus and clinical visits, and internships, starting with education in the basic foundational sciences that inform the content of the field. Faculty teaching the foundational sciences facilitates discussion drawing on research, clinical experiences, and personal/professional activities to model professional behaviors, elucidates psychosocial and ethical issues, and presents a broad application of course content to practice settings. Through clinical cases intermingled within basic science didactic content, students are challenged to apply basic science information to solve clinical problems. Instruction in these basic science areas builds the foundation for the clinical coursework.

Within any given semester, we utilize team-taught, integrated course classes to encourage synthesis of material presented. Case Application Seminars and Experiences (CASE) courses provide students the opportunity to learn collaboratively in faculty-facilitated small groups. During many semesters, students attend laboratory sessions in local physical therapy/rehab clinics and the Marshall University Volunteers in Therapy (MUVIT) pro-bono clinic for hands-on experiences interspersed within the didactic coursework.

Early in the curriculum, students are introduced to the basic tools of investigation in PT (Evidence Based Practice course series). Starting with the clinical decision-making process, they learn to utilize literature review and scientific method to support evidence-based practice, and the process for utilizing and creating evidence to improve upon the body of knowledge that informs the profession. Basic clinical skills coursework forms the foundation for more advanced clinical courses in diagnosis and management.

Faculty emphasize utilization of current, evidence-based practices that are built on the foundational sciences and are consistent with published research and clinical outcomes in the diagnosis and management process. Knowledge of the professional aspects of practice is integral to successful hands-on practice, and necessary to become a competent practitioner. Therefore, a series of professional practice courses inculcate a working knowledge of communications, educational methodology and process, culture, ethics, law, health care delivery systems, administration, leadership, service learning, and the political aspects that influence the field of physical therapy.

Clinical education exposure/experiences are integrated into the first two years of the curriculum through clinic visits to local physical therapy facilities spread within the didactic coursework, with the first full-time clinical rotation/internship occurring early in the second year of the program. These rotations continue in the 3rd year with two full-time clinical internships in the last two semesters of the program. This series of clinical experiences assures that the graduate has the opportunity to develop skills in a variety of practice settings, working within a team approach to patient management, under the direct supervision of a clinical instructor who is a licensed physical therapist.

Our 22,600-square-foot space includes three classrooms/laboratories and eight seminar rooms for teaching purposes, a research laboratory (about 2000 square feet), faculty and administrative offices, student locker rooms, restrooms and kitchen/lounge areas, and specialized equipment necessary to teach the content taught in a physical therapy professional program. There is sufficient free parking to accommodate students, faculty, staff, patients and visitors.

3. Clinical Observation Hours: Complete at least 60 clinical observation hours, preferably from two different settings under the direct supervision of a licensed physical therapist by the time of application. Please follow the instructions listed on the PTCAS website (www.ptcas.org/PTHours/) to submit your hours for verification. For PTCAS general application, PT observation hours need to be completed no later than October 1. 
4. Grade Point Averages:
   A minimum 3.0 for overall Undergraduate GPA
   A minimum 3.0 for the GPA for prerequisite sciences
   A minimum 3.0 for the GPA for all prerequisites combined
5. GPA calculation for repeated courses:
   • If a student retakes the same science course at the same institution and earns a higher grade on the second attempt, we will use the higher grade to calculate GPAs.
   • In other situations (i.e., taking the same science course more than two times at the same institution; retaking the same or equivalent course at a different institution), if a science course is repeated, we will use all grades earned for that course to calculate GPAs.
6. Provide two references: One from a licensed physical therapist (Physical Therapist Assistant is not accepted) and the other from either another physical therapist, or a faculty member or an employer. A reference request form is provided on the PTCAS website (www.ptcas.org).
7. Provisional Admission: A student who possesses a baccalaureate degree from an accepted, accredited college/university and has submitted all other application materials, but still has 1-2 prerequisite courses in progress at the time of interview (early January) may be provisionally admitted. However, outstanding course(s) must be completed with the appropriate minimal grade prior to commencing the DPT program in May of the year for which the student is applying.
8. Conditional Admission: A student who does not already possess a baccalaureate degree from an accepted, accredited institution, and/or has 1-2 prerequisite courses in progress at the time of interview (early January), but has submitted all other required application materials, may be conditionally admitted. However, the bachelor’s degree must be earned, and outstanding course(s) must be completed with the appropriate minimal grade prior to commencing the DPT program in May of the year for which the student is applying.

¹

All science prerequisite courses must be for science majors (a science course older than 10 years will not be accepted). Courses with a grade of C- or lower will not be accepted as prerequisites. Anatomy and physiology courses should preferably be completed with a grade of B or better. Note that students will be allowed to have one or two courses in progress at the time of interview (early January); however, the outstanding course(s) must be completed with the appropriate minimal grade, prior to commencing the DPT program in May of the year for which students are applying.

²

Students must document 6 hours of anatomy and physiology regardless of how the courses are offered. Many universities offer a two semester integrated human anatomy and physiology course instead of three credits human anatomy and three credits human physiology. A qualified course shall cover all major human body systems. Functional anatomy with a main emphasis on the musculoskeletal system and exercise physiology are not accepted.

International applicants will be required to submit an official TOEFL score in addition to the other requirements described for consideration. TOEFL/IBT score must be consistent with the standards established by the Foreign Credentialing Commission on Physical Therapy (FCCPT) as acceptable for physical therapists desiring to enter practice in the U.S. from a foreign country. The minimum scores to be considered for admission must be a Total Score of 89 with the minimum section requirement of “Speaking” of 26. TOEFL requirement is waived for applicants who hold a bachelor’s degree from an accepted, accredited college or university in the United States. International applicants who hold a bachelor’s degree from a college or university outside of the United States will have to complete their credential evaluation [WES International Credential Advantage Package (ICAP)] from the World Education Services (WES) to prove that their education is equivalent to the US undergraduate education and have the report sent to PTCAS.

Admission decisions are based on a variety of factors. The primary factor in all admission decisions is prior academic achievement (overall, science, and/or prerequisite grade point average – GPA) and the potential for an applicant to be successful in a rigorous PT curriculum. An applicant’s volunteer experience, letters of recommendation, and interview performance are reviewed by members of the Admissions Committee. The Admissions Committee will also consider additional factors in the final admissions review process (e.g., undergraduate attendance at Marshall University or West Virginia state residency, veteran of the U.S. military, and certain economic, environmental, or geographic indicators contained in the PTCAS application).

Criminal Background Check Information

Special Note Regarding Eligibility for Certification for Licensure, Criminal Background Clearance

Students who are offered admission to the Marshall University School of Physical Therapy are required to have a criminal background check. Complete instructions on obtaining and forwarding these documents will be provided to students who are offered admission, prior to matriculation. Clinical rotation sites that require a criminal background check may deny a student’s participation in the clinical rotation because of a felony or misdemeanor conviction or a record of child abuse. Clinical sites may also deny participation in clinical experience for other reasons, such as failure of a required drug test, or inability to produce an appropriate health clearance. As participation in clinical experiences, rotations or fieldwork is a required part of the curriculum and a requirement for graduation, denial of participation by a clinical site may result in delay of graduation or the inability to graduate from the program. Regardless of whether or not a student graduates from Marshall, individuals who have been convicted of a felony or misdemeanor may be denied certification or licensure as a health professional. Information regarding individual eligibility may be obtained from the appropriate credentialing bodies or state licensure board.

Program Requirements

Academic Progression

Provisions for academic progression are further outlines in the Graduate Catalog and SOPT Student Handbook. Academic progression is reviewed during orientation upon matriculation in the DPT program and include, but are not limited to, the following details regarding Academic Progression (probation, dismissal, re-entry, and deceleration).

1. Summer (DPT Semester 1) of First Year: 

• A student whose Grade Point Average (GPA) falls between 2.90-2.99 will be recommended for academic probation by the Academic and Professional Standards Committee (APSC) and approved by the SOPT chairperson. 
• A student whose GPA falls between 2.75-2.89 will be recommended for academic probation. The student may request to restart the DPT program with the following cohort, continue the program on academic probation, or switch to the 4-year deceleration pathway (see 4 year deceleration pathway details). The APSC will review the academic/professional performance of all students and counsel the student on the pros and cons of each option. The student will make the decision in 7 days of the last day of class. 
• A student whose GPA falls below a 2.75 will be recommended for dismissal from the MUSOPT. The student may reapply to the program through PTCAS in the following year. 
  • A student who restarts the program with the following cohort (automatic or through PTCAS application) will start with a clean GPA slate upon re-entering the program. 
  • A student who continues the DPT program on either the 3-Year regular pathway (probation) or the 4-Year deceleration pathway must complete the semester. The student will retain all earned grades and must come off probation in the required time period. 

2. Fall (DPT Semester 2) of First Year: 

• A student who was not on probation after the summer semester (DPT Semester 1) and whose cumulative GPA falls between 2.90-2.99 will be recommended for academic probation by the APSC. 
• A student who was not on probation after the summer semester (DPT Semester 1) and whose cumulative GPA falls between 2.75-2.89 will have the option to continue on the 3-Year regular pathway or switch to the 4-Year deceleration pathway. A student who continues the DPT program on either the 3-Year regular pathway or the 4-Year deceleration pathway must complete the semester. The student will retain all earned grades and must come off probation in the required time period. 
• A student who was on probation after the summer semester (DPT semester 1) and whose cumulative GPA falls below 2.75 will be dismissed from the program. The student may reapply to the program through PTCAS in the following year. 

3. Any semester thereafter (after Fall of First Year): 

• A student whose cumulative GPA falls between 2.75-2.99 will be recommended for academic probation by the APSC. 
• A student whose cumulative Grade Point Average falls below a 2.75 will be dismissed from the program and may reapply through PTCAS.

4. Any student who is on probation will have one semester to correct academic deficiencies. If a student has demonstrated academic progress and improved their cumulative Grade Point Average from 2.90-2.99 during the semester of probation, the student may appeal to the APSC for an additional consecutive semester of probation. Students are allowed a maximum of two semesters of academic probation as part of the DPT curriculum. 
5. Following notification of probation and before the start of the next semester, the student will be counseled by their faculty advisor or the APSC. During this initial counseling session, the student will be advised of their deficiencies and the requirements for removing the deficiencies by the end of the following semester. 
6. The SOPT chairperson may either accept or overturn all recommendations by the APSC, and will subsequently inform the student of the final recommendation to the Assistant Provost of Graduate Studies. 
7. The Assistant Provost of Graduate Studies makes the final decision regarding academic dismissal. 
8. If the student disagrees with the SOPT chairperson's decision, the student may appeal the decision in writing to the Assistant Provost of Graduate Studies within three (3) university business days after notification of dismissal. 
9. In the event a student is placed on probation in the final fall semester (DPT semester 8) and it is mathematically unable to achieve a 3.0 GPA, the student will not be permitted to attend the intermediate internship (PT 792 Clinical Internship II) and will be referred to the APSC for review and to make a recommendation for the SOPT chairperson.

The MUSOPT APSC is responsible for determining candidacy for Academic Probation. Students may be placed on probation for no more than two semesters during the entire DPT curriculum. The APSC will make decisions regarding any disciplinary or remediation action based on the student’s academic, professional, and clinical performance. 

4- Year Deceleration Pathway

The 4-Year Deceleration Pathway has the same degree requirements and the same number of credits to graduate, but the curriculum is sequenced over 4-years rather than 3-years. To ensure that students remain half-time, semester 10 has one additional course (PT 798 1-credit Independent Study) that will allow the student to retain half-time status (6 credits)/semester. The 4-Year Deceleration Pathway is only available to students who have demonstrated academic difficulty (cumulative GPA 2.75-2.89) in the summer or fall semesters of Year 1. The 4-Year Deceleration Pathway provides students with an additional option allowing them to remain in the program but with a lighter course load per semester. The student will take some courses with their original cohort, and they will take some courses with the cohort that is one year behind. The student will graduate with the cohort that is one year behind the matriculating cohort. All SOPT program policies and procedures remain in effect for the students on the 4-Year Deceleration Pathway. See Appendix 1 [of the School of Physical Therapy Student Handbook] for the 3-Year and the 4-Year DPT curricula. Students will have seven (7) days from the end of the summer (year 1) or fall (year 1) to make a decision to switch to the deceleration program. The student must sign an educational contract signifying that they are switching to the deceleration pathway. Once a student has switched from the 3-year to the 4-year deceleration pathway, they are unable to switch back. The student who elects to participate in the 4-Year deceleration pathway will incur an additional year of tuition. While the SOPT has made every effort to work with the financial aid office in the development of the deceleration pathway, the student is responsible for communicating with the Marshall University Financial Aid Office and insurers of any third-party scholarships.
