Overview

The Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) is a five-year professional degree building from foundational anatomy, physiology, and biomechanics into applied assessment and rehabilitation techniques for musculoskeletal, neurological, and cardiopulmonary conditions. Aligned with HEC Allied Health Sciences standards, the curriculum integrates progressively supervised clinical practicums across hospital and rehabilitation settings, preparing graduates for professional physical therapy practice. MUST's DPT students train in dedicated physical therapy and biomechanics labs equipped for gait analysis, manual therapy practice, and rehabilitation equipment training, before advancing to clinical placements under licensed physical therapists. The program's structured progression from lab-based skill-building to real patient care, combined with close faculty mentorship, produces graduates confident in both clinical assessment and hands-on treatment from day one.
