The Division of Physical Therapy at the Ohio State University is growing.  We currently have two positions open for regular faculty​.

The Ohio State University offers a Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) degree. We have over 50 years of experience in preparing students for successful careers in physical therapy, a well-trained faculty, excellent health-care facilities, and a network of supportive alumni. Most of the information you need is here on the webpage but if you have specific questions, please contact our graduate advisor Jennifer Hicks at Jennifer.Hicks@osumc.edu.

If you are already a physical therapist, Ohio State University has many great post-professional educational opportunities. The Division of Physical Therapy now offers five Clinical Residency programs in cooperation with other programs throughout the university and Columbus.  The residencies include Sports Physical Therapy , Orthopaedic Physical Therapy, (in cooperation with OSU Sports Medicine Center) Pediatric Physical Therapy, (in cooperation with The Nisonger Center and Nationwide Children's Hospital) Neurologic Physical Therapy, (in cooperation with the OSU Medical Center - Rehabilitation Programs) and Geriatric Physical Therapy (in cooperation with Freedom Home Health). 

We also offer a Masters of Science (MS) in Allied Health and a Doctorate (PhD) in Health and Rehabilitation Science. Please visit these interdisciplinary degree programs offered within the School of Allied Medical Professions. Our faculty serve as advisors to students in these programs and welcome the opportunity to mentor you in these programs.

If you are a college student ready to apply for PT school and you are highly motivated to pursue both your DPT and a PhD for a future career in academics and research, please read about our combined DPT/PhD program .
