services
3. Promote optimal health for our patients and society by contributing to the advancement of rehabilitation science and
practice through research
4. Become recognize by local and international accrediting and licensing bodies or agencies as a premier college in physical
therapy education

PROGRAM EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES

1. Assume the role of a highly competent, and effective clinical physical therapy practitioner who practices across the
lifespan and throughout the continuum of care amongst different group of individuals in the society.
2. Become a reflective practitioner that utilizes clinical reasoning and critical inquiry skills and uses information
management skills and the processes involved in evidence-based practice in clinical decision-making and in the
pursuit of lifelong learning to meet the ever-changing demands of the health care environment and of the society.
