DPT Alumni

Alumni are the Doctor of Physical Therapy program's most valuable resource. Your voice and support of our program reaches into hospitals, clinics, and communities throughout the world. Thank you being strong advocates of physical therapy and Duke.

The DPT Alumni Affairs Committee and related alumni resources work hard to help you stay connected to each other and to our growing program by sharing continuing education opportunities, program changes that enhance the value of your degree, clinical internship needs, and news about the program. Our goal is to make the DPT Alumni Association the most recognized at Duke.
