Our DPT Class of 2025's last official act as first-year students was to head out across DFW and beyond for their first clinical rotations! Our students will learn from the best and show their skills in hospitals, outpatient clinics, and inpatient rehabilitation facilities.

We had a blast kicking off the start of summer last week! Faculty, staff, and students across HSC School of Health Professions came together for a fun afternoon of lunch, yard games, and a visit from the @MELTIceCreams truck! #HSCProud

Talk about something sweet 🫶 Today is the first day of clinical rotations for our DPT class of 2025 and last week our DPT class of 2024 took the time to write them notes of encouragement as they venture out! We love to see positivity and encouragement among our cohorts 🥳

Yesterday, our DPT class of 2025 officially finished their first year of PT school! Their last lesson as first-years was in the practice of Tai Chi on the MET lawn ☀️ #ChoosePT #HSCProud #ptschool #physicaltherapy

Our DPT class of 2024 successfully completed their comprehensive Exams yesterday! This was one of their last stops before heading out on their remaining clinical rotations. They worked with standardized patients for the exam, but they are ready for the real ones now! #HSCProud

Last week, @UNTHSC_PAS and @UNTHSCDPT proudly participated in HSC's annual Latinos en Medicina Camp. We're so proud of our students, who are not only becoming tomorrow's providers but are encouraging younger generations to follow in their footsteps! fortworthreport.org/2023/06/12/thi…

Our first-year students got the opportunity to learn the advanced intervention of dry needling this week thanks to Dr. Charles Nichols! We pride ourselves in providing our students the hands-on experience to master these techniques. Great work, DPT class of 2025! #ChoosePT
