On Saturday, March 28, the UNC School of Medicine Division of Physical Therapy hosted its annual DPT Exploratory Day, welcoming prospective students for an inside look at the Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) program and profession.
The day featured a welcome panel, headshot opportunities, program overview, hands-on lab experiences, and a faculty and alumni panel. Attendees heard directly from current students, faculty, and Division Director Tim Eckard, PT, DPT, PhD, gaining insight into the program, student experience, and career pathways in physical therapy.
By the end of the event, participants left with a stronger understanding of the field and what it means to pursue a DPT at UNC.
