Some of these courses will be offered online only and otherswill be a combination of seminar attendance as a prerequisite with the corresponding transitional DPTcoursework. The best place to start is to look at the University’s catalog or myUSA portal tDPT tab.You have the option of completing either of the following:• A clinical specialization track where you will take all courses in a chosen certification track.• Clinical non-specialization track where you will select courses from the University Catalog, butit does not lead to a certification.When selecting courses, we suggest you determine which courses would help to further your clinicalskills professionally. Considering your professional strengths, weaknesses, and goals, will help you informulating your degree plan. For example, if you are interested in becoming an Orthopedic Specialistand pass the examination through APTA, you may want to take all or most of the manual therapy track. Ifyou would like to improve your diagnostic skills in preparation for direct access, the courses ofDifferential Diagnosis, Pharmacology, and Imaging are three popular choices. Perhaps you’ve alwayswanted to go into a specialty area of physical therapy but lack the clinical skills – this would be yourchance to gain those skills. Please contact your assigned advisor if you need any assistance with courseselection.When selecting courses, be sure to consider the delivery format.
