Doctor of Physical Therapy Program
Whitworth University's Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) Program is housed alongside our occupational therapy doctoral program in the Dornsife Health Sciences Building -- a new 38,000-square-foot facility designed to advance graduate education in the health sciences. These state-of-the-art physical therapy facilities feature modern rehabilitation labs, clinical learning spaces and technology-enhanced classrooms that promote hands-on learning and interprofessional collaboration.
The occupational therapy and physical therapy facilities include:
- A motion analysis research lab
- Exercise physiology labs
- Anatomy labs
- Simulation labs
- Dedicated classroom and functional lab spaces
- A practice clinic
The Dornsife Health Sciences Building has enabled Whitworth to expand its graduate health science program portfolio and demonstrates the university’s investment in our program's expert faculty team.
Bioness Vector Elite System
The Bioness Vector Elite System reflects the latest innovation in rehabilitation technology. It provides students with clinical learning opportunities while helping local community members return to daily activities as they recover from:
- Strokes
- Amputations
- Orthopedic, brain and spinal cord injuries
- Other neurologic diagnoses
Suspended from a custom-designed ceiling track system, the Bioness Vector provides a safe, algorithm-driven support system that allows individuals to regain mobility by unloading a precise amount of body weight during therapeutic activities.
