Located on Mercer’s Cecil B. Day Graduate and Professional Campus in
Atlanta, Georgia, the Department of Physical Therapy is pleased to
offer programs for professional and post-professional study and an
on-site clinic.
The professional program in physical therapy offers the
Doctor of
Physical Therapy (DPT) degree. This innovative, 8-semester program
provides a comprehensive, entry-level, professional education.
If you would like more information about our DPT program, contact us
at
physicaltherapy@mercer.edu.
Post-professional programs include residencies, fellowships, and
continuing education opportunities for licensed physical therapists.
The APTA-credentialed
Residency in Orthopaedic Physical Therapy and
the newly-developed
Residency in Neurologic Physical Therapy, a
collaborative effort with The Shepherd Center, enable physical
therapists to accelerate their examination, evaluation, diagnosis,
prognosis, interventions, and management of patients. Both
12-month programs of study combine contemporary evidence-based
coursework with highly individualized clinical mentoring under the
supervision of experienced clinicians. For more information
about our post-professional offerings, please e-mail
postprofpt@mercer.edu.
Mercer Physical Therapy is our on-site practice, and is closely
connected to our professional and post-professional education
programs. Mercer Physical Therapy aims to be a center of clinical
excellence providing comprehensive physical therapy services for
individuals in the Metro Atlanta area.
We appreciate your interest in Mercer’s Department of Physical
Therapy.
