2 A variety of options to fit you ABOUT THE UNVIERSITY Founded in 1898, Des Moines University has three colleges Health Sciences, Osteopathic Medicine, and Podiatric Medicine and Surgery that offer graduate degree programs in physical therapy, health care administration, public health, physician assistant studies, osteopathic medicine, podiatric medicine, anatomy and biomedical sciences. Continuing medical education is also offered on a variety of topics. Total University enrollment is approximately 1,800 full- and part-time students. All DMU programs focus on medicine and the health sciences, so students and faculty share a commitment to patient-centered care with an emphasis on evidence-based practice and the discovery of knowledge. Page 2

3 Regardless of where you are in your physical therapy career, lifelong learning is critical to your continued competence and success. You want to provide your patients with the most effective and efficient care possible. As their needs change and as evidence-based practice evolves, you also can advance with Des Moines University s post-professional, graduate-level online learning opportunities. DMU offers options to fit your personal and professional goals: r needs Option 1 - If you hold a master s or bachelor s degree in physical therapy and want to take the next step in your education, DMU offers a post-professional doctor of physical therapy (PPDPT) degree to advance your expertise, abilities and practice. See pages 5-8. Option 2 - Want to further your knowledge without pursuing a degree? You also may take courses in the University s PPDPT program as a professional development (non-degree) student. DMU offers online self-study modules designed for physical therapists to enhance current practice or demonstrate initial or continuing competence for licensure. Option 3 - The DMU physical therapy department offers course work and continuing medical education units that may be applicable toward physical therapist licensure requirements pending individual state review and approval. All these options will enable you to achieve continuing competence, a tenet of the American Physical Therapy Association s Vision Statement. They ll also let you interact with and learn from expert faculty and classmates, who are also practicing physical therapists, further enriching your education. Even if you live thousands of miles from Des Moines, these colleagues in learning are just a few mouse clicks away. You ll gain knowledge and skills you can apply immediately in your practice. Unsure which option is best for you? Let s talk: Prior to submitting an application, all individuals whether seeking a degree or not are encouraged to discuss their options with DMU s postgraduate studies program coordinator. Page 3

4 FOR ALL OPTIONS Getting started All enrollees whether they are seeking a degree or professional development must complete an orientation tutorial before beginning course work in the PPDPT program. The orientation provides an introduction to DMU and its postgraduate studies program. It includes overviews of applicable policies and procedures, information on the DMU library and an introduction to the technology used throughout the program. Technology that enhances The DMU Help Desk is available to address technical problems students could encounter with online activities. The University s webbased instructional system is compatible with PC and Macintosh computers, although the PC format is preferred. Mac users may experience limited functions within DMU s online student portal and may need to save documents and presentations in formats compatible with the current Microsoft Office Suite for the PC. Evidence-based practice DMU programs incorporate evidence-based practice (EBP) in the curriculum. You ll use these skills throughout the program and in your daily practice. EBP has five distinct elements: 1) ask clinically important questions; 2) find the evidence to answer questions; 3) critically appraise the evidence; 4) integrate the evidence with professional experience and patient values; and 5) evaluate the outcome for the patient. You will have opportunities to learn and practice these skills. Library resources Many of the DMU library resources are available online, including multiple databases, full text articles, and some course textbooks. The interlibrary loan service allows you to order journal articles and receive materials from other libraries. Page 4 Why earn your doctorate? Time is of the essence: The American Physical Therapy Association has put forth the vision that physical therapy will be provided by doctors of physical therapy by the year Patients increasingly will seek out these autonomous care providers to optimize their movement, function and health.

5 Option 1 - DOCTORATE The post-professional doctor of physical therapy degree DMU offers one of the few transitional doctor of physical therapy programs with course work offered entirely online. This means you can experience rigorous, relevant professional preparation while working uninterrupted, immediately applying the knowledge you re gaining. You ll be prepared to meet the challenges and opportunities of becoming a leader in your profession, in health care and in your community. Another distinctive element of the program is its focus on evidence-based practice, the thoughtful integration of the best available evidence combined with clinical expertise and client preferences. The program s intensive combination of didactic and clinically applicable education and experience will equip you to address health care questions and issues with an evaluative and qualitative approach, using current and past research, clinical guidelines and other information skills you will use your entire career. Curriculum You must successfully complete all 11 courses* in the program to fulfill degree requirements. Students in the PPDPT program may request to transfer up to six hours of graduate credit from a previously attended, accredited institution. * DMU alumni complete 10 courses. Keep in mind: The format of each course depends on the instructor, but each course requires that you take primary responsibility for learning. You will complete assigned readings and then contribute to online discussions and projects with classmates relating to questions posed by the instructor. Quizzes and exams are given online. Program organization Unlike self-paced programs, each course has specific start and stop dates along with due dates for assignments. One of the goals is for you to gain new knowledge and insights by sharing professional experiences and resources. Working with classmates through online discussions and group projects extends the reach of the online classroom while mirroring the professional collaborations increasingly common and important in health care today. Time commitment For a two-credit-hour course delivered over eight weeks, plan to study an average of six to 10 hours per week. For a threecredit-hour course, plan to study an average of nine to 15 hours per week. Graduation requirements Non-DMU physical therapists complete 24 credit hours to earn the postprofessional DPT degree. DMU alumni complete 22 credit hours.
