More than 90,000 physical therapists practice in the United States today, treating nearly one million people daily. The UTC Physical Therapy Program offers a curriculum which prepares graduates to work in a variety of healthcare settings and serve patient populations across the lifespan. According to two March 2001 employment surveys conducted by the APTA, employment conditions have improved and unemployment rates have decreased substantially in the last six months alone (from 1.8% to 1.4%). Our program, likewise, has experienced a significant increase in notification of position openings for entry-level therapists. These facts point to an optimistic future for the profession. |
