Physical Therapy
The Department of Physical Therapy at Baylor University seeks to advance societal health through innovative education, connection, research, and leadership in physical therapy. We offer an innovative hybrid Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) program as well as two physical therapy residency programs in orthopedics and pediatrics.
Ranked #40 among the nation's Physical Therapy programs, the innovative Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) Program combines best practices in distance education, on-campus lab immersion sessions, and clinical education experiences to prepare you as a physical therapist and servant leader in this vital profession.
Baylor University's Department of Physical Therapy offers three residency programs: the Baylor Scott & White-Baylor University Neurologic Physical Therapy Residency, the Baylor Scott & White-Baylor University Orthopedic Physical Therapy Residency, and the Baylor University – Hope & Believe Pediatric Therapy Pediatric Residency.
Profiles

When Peyton Gill was 14 years old, she never imagined she would begin a fight to survive Stage 4 ovarian cancer. She was scheduled for immediate abdominal surgery, and then had her first encounter with a spirited physical therapist—today, Gill is a second-year Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) student at Baylor University.
Located within the Clinical Simulation & Skills Facility are several state-of-the-art manikins, two of which are affectionately referred to as “Uncle Bill” and “Dr. Wilson” and were provided through the generosity of Mary Jo Robbins. The manikins will enable the highest quality educational experience for graduate students in Robbins College of Health and Human Sciences.
