Can someone receive a Doctorate in Ozone Therapy?

Can someone explain the doctorate of physical therapy?

• I understand the DPT allows for direct access of the patient to a therapist without having to go through a physician. But specifically what does the DPT allow therapists to do that they could not before? Why is the transition to a doctorate degree so important. Links to websites on this topic would be appreciated. Thank you!

• Answer:

  We can do the same things we could do with either a BSPT or MPT. The big part of the change came with the amount of material that was involved in the curriculum. When I go my BS PT degree in 1991, we went to school year round for 2 and half year. Now it is three years and you have added differential diagnosis, evidence based medicine, imaging, women's health, more management classes. Clinical orthopedics is now a whole year instead of 10 weeks. You can really master the curriculum. They also have more internship time. The big reason is to be on par with other clinical doctorates such as chiro, podiatry etc. The best source of info is the national PT website.www.apta.org Google Vision 2020 (PT) I went back and earned a transitional DPT in 2005
