Emory University awarded a doctor's degree in physical therapy, with the goal of training physical therapy professionals and helping them put it into practice in the ever-changing health care environment. Physical therapy professionals' knowledge of sports and disability is unique in medical care. Therefore, their social responsibility and medical responsibility are no less than those of independent medical practitioners.

It takes 35 months to complete the course, starting school in June and graduating in May of the third year.
