A highlight of the Physical Therapy Program is the Rehabilitation Research and Movement Performance (RRAMP) Laboratory, a unique 7,000-sq. ft. space located near West Campus in Stony Brook that is 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, andthe Long Island State Veterans Home,both in Stony Brook.
