About the Department/College

The Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) Program at NAU is housed within the

Department of Physical Therapy and Athletic Training in the College of

Health and Human Services (CHHS). The DPT Program offers one hybrid and

two residential Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) programs-one at the

Phoenix Bioscience Core (PBC) and the other on the Flagstaff Mountain

Campus. As part of NAU\'s New Economy Initiative, the DPT Program plays

a crucial role in educating future physical therapists who will address

health disparities in Arizona. Program members collaborate with

community and academic partners to break down barriers and increase

access to physical therapy education, ensuring a well-prepared workforce

for the evolving healthcare landscape.

About the Position

The NAU Doctor of Physical Therapy Program is at the forefront of

Competency and Entrustment-Based Education (CEBE), a progressive

approach designed to meet the diverse and evolving healthcare needs of

society. This model integrates learning outcomes and assessments across

didactic and clinical education, ensuring graduates are fully prepared

for the complexities of contemporary physical therapy practice. The DPT

Program seeks a highly motivated and innovative faculty member who

embraces this CEBE paradigm shift and is adept at utilizing technology

to enhance health professions education. With a diverse faculty team, we

welcome applications from candidates with expertise across all primary

areas of physical therapy practice.
