"I chose Whitworth because the staff is very friendly and caring. The environment and atmosphere are also very welcoming! The program has given me an appreciation for the time and the extensive knowledge involved with medicine-related fields. The drive that has developed for knowledge and the camaraderie with my fellow cohort mates has been the most valuable thing about my experience so far."

Cohort Model

You'll take courses and complete the DPT program with a group of approximately 40 other students. Because your cohort will stay together throughout the program, you'll have the opportunity to develop a strong sense of community, participate in collaborative learning, study for exams with peers and practice treatment on each other. Your knowledge base and clinical skills will increase with each successive term as you progress through courses and integrated clinical experiences together.
