The University of South Carolina Physical
Therapy Program is dedicated to preparing students who possess the
personal and professional characteristics, knowledge, and the motor
skills necessary to excel in the delivery of the elements of
physical therapy practice.
Physical therapy is a profession that possesses elements of art and
science with a unique body of knowledge integrating individual
clinical expertise with the best available external clinical
evidence. The Program faculty recognizes that parts of this
knowledge base are shared with a number of disciplines each with a
distinct perspective and research that can add insight and evidence
into the practice of physical therapy.
The Physical Therapy Program focuses on providing students with a
philosophy that the standards of physical therapy practice are
dynamic and requires the application, evaluation and adaptation of
existing and the generation of new evidence-based knowledge. |
