DOCTOR OF PHYSICAL THERAPY PROGRAM
Our three-year program enrolls 85 students annually—35 students in Southampton; 50 in Stony Brook. Graduates of the program are prepared to provide direct patient care in a multitude of physical therapy settings and/or pursue careers in research, administration, or education. 

A highlight of the Department of Physical Therapy is its Rehabilitation Research and Movement Performance (RRAMP) Laboratory, a unique 7,000-sq. ft. space dedicated to helping individuals through the use of a state-of-the-art motion analysis system.

Students have access to Stony Brook University Hospital—the largest tertiary care hospital in Suffolk County—and the Long Island State Veterans Home, both in Stony Brook. Clinical staff from both facilities, residents from the Veterans Home, and patients from University Hospital participate in classroom demonstrations and case study integrative weeks. 

These facilities along with Southampton Hospital, Mather Memorial Hospital in Port Jefferson, Huntington Hospital, Peconic Bay Medical Center, Riverhead Care Center, and other local physical therapy practices create an environment for shared clinical expertise among clinicians, educators, and students.
