About us

The mission of the Physical Therapy Department at the University of Kentucky is foremost to meet the physical therapy needs of Kentucky and contribute to global needs through education, research and service. The Physical Therapy Program strives to develop competent physical therapy practitioners who are critical thinkers, educators, and professionals who adhere to the core values of the University and value all people. Graduates of our program should be person-centered practitioners who are knowledgeable, ethical, independent and collaborative, adaptable, reflective, effective communicators, and service oriented. We accomplish this through a wide variety of mechanisms: 1. Educational programs informed by scholarship and research and designed to provide excellence in instruction as well as accessibility to a diverse student body. These programs include the professional DPT (Lexington and Center of Excellence in Rural Health campuses), post- professional program (PhD Program in Rehabilitation Sciences), and continuing education courses. 2. Research, scholarship, and creative activities that contribute to the discovery, translation, and expansion of knowledge in the health sciences. 3. Service to the public (in urban and rural communities), to other professional disciplines, and to the profession. 4. Professional socialization through participation in professional activities and organizations.
