School of Physical Therapy

The mission of the Husson Physical Therapy Program is to graduate generalist practitioners who are movement specialists with advanced skills in selected practice areas.  These skilled, knowledgeable, ethical, and reflective practitioners are independent in their assessment of client needs and collaborative within the health care team for the promotion of health and function.  These graduates are responsible and self-directed learners, both adaptable and successful in utilizing evidence-based practice to address issues within diverse and complex health care systems, practice environments and client populations.
