A Doctor of Physical Therapy- Doctoral Studies in Education. My Doctoral Physical Therapy program curriculum required an in- depth study of Anatomy/ Physiology, Neuro Anatomy (among other sciences) and Human Dissection of every body organ. My State Physical Therapy Licensure requires me to attend 30 hours of continued education every 2 years(staying abreast of documented advances and research of disability as pertaining to dysfunctional organisms. I have practiced physical therapist for 42 years-treating pediatrics (newborn-through adulthood) geriatrics(65 year plus population) and all ages in between providing rehabilitation and education to debilitated patients due to dysfunction of bodily organs. During the course of my 42 years as practicing therapist , I have trained and supervised physical therapy students. Worked as a team player with medical doctors/surgeons, nurses and other allied health professionals to restore patients with physical limitations due to unhealthy function of bodily organs(whether from disease process, aging, trauma, genetics.)
