Doctor of Physical Therapy Program - Stratford
Clinical Education
The clinical education program for physical therapy
students is designed to parallel and enrich
coursework. It offers a practical, hands-on
experience for graduate students to apply academic
knowledge to the everyday world and focuses
on providing each student with supervised practice
opportunities in a variety of clinical environments.
Four full-time clinical experiences for a total
of 38 weeks in clinical education are required.
The DPT Program maintains affiliation agreements
with over 300 clinical facilities throughout
the country. Most clinical affiliation sites
are located in central and southern New Jersey
and eastern Pennsylvania.
Clinical placement is based upon the student's educational and clinical needs, clinical site availability and lottery selection. Physical therapy students are responsible for costs incurred during clinical affiliations, including travel and living expenses. The clinical education curriculum link provides information about the clinical education courses. It is password protected and accessible by current students and clinical faculty only. Included are the course syllabi, clinical objectives and other information pertinent to the clinical education portion of the curriculum.

Student Immunization and Health Requirements
Acceptance into the DPT Program is contingent upon the continued mental and physical well being of the student and the student's demonstrated ability to complete the program of study successfully. As part of the admission process, students are required to compete the health and immunization requirements of both UMDNJ and Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey, Graduate School – Camden.. In order to determine the student's standing, the School reserves the right to require a student to undergo mental and physical examinations to evaluate fitness for continued studies after acceptance and throughout the student's matriculation at the School. Such evaluation shall, in most cases, be conducted external to the University's facilities and programs. This link provides current and interested students information about medical immunization requirements by both universities.
All students are responsible
to comply with these requirements from both
universities.
