Message from the Chair

Welcome to Old Dominion University's School of Physical Therapy. We have been successfully educating physical therapists for more than 25 years and we are confident that our program is one of the best in the country. ODU graduates are well known for their excellent clinical skills and ability to work as part of a patient care team from the moment they start their first job.

In these web pages you will find details about the Doctorate in Physical Therapy at Old Dominion University and admission procedures. You will see answers to frequently-asked questions, and you can find a list of names and contact information for our dynamic faculty. They are an impressive group with a terrific record of success in guiding students through their education to passing the licensing exam. You will see a curriculum that includes all of the topics necessary for competent practice immediately upon graduation, and additional topics necessary for competent practice into the future.

You can access other Old Dominion University web pages to find out more about the university, the surrounding cities, the nearby beaches, the major concert venues, and all of the extras that make this an enjoyable place to live. We invite you to enjoy browsing our pages, and please drop us a line if you have any questions.

All the best,

Martha Walker PT, PhD
