Dale Avers, DPT, PhD, director of Upstate‘s post-professional doctoral program for physical therapists, discusses the current trends in physical therapy education.  All physical therapy training programs have converted to doctoral programs, and as more physical therapists increase their education, more patients address their PTs as doctor.
