The UCSF Department of Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation
Science is located in the School of Medicine, with graduate degrees supported
by the Graduate Division. The Department faculty provide patient care through a Faculty Practice located at two different sites. The Department
offers three graduate degrees in physical therapy in partnership with
San Francisco State University (SFSU):
the UCSF/SFSU Entry-level Doctorate in Physical Therapy (DPT), the Post Professional DPT (PostProfDPT) for recent graduates, and the post
professional Doctorate in Physical Therapy Science (DPTSc). The Department
also supports faculty and student research in clinical and basic sciences.

Education
All of the Graduate Programs
in Physical Therapy are jointly offered by UCSF and SFSU. These
graduate programs are not only integrated within the Graduate
Divisions of both universities, but are part of the School of
Medicine at UCSF and the College of Health and Human Services
at SFSU. Three different degree programs in physical therapy are
offered: Entry-Level DPT, PostProfDPT and DPTSc .

Research
The Department strongly supports
scientific inquiry and critical thinking within the curriculum
and among the faculty. The faculty are involved in a variety of
basic, clinical and translational research studies. Students are
integrated into faculty research programs.

Patient Care
The UCSF/SFSU Graduate Program is fortunate to have several
