Community Faculty

The UTEP DPT Program extends our gratitude to our Community Faculty for their assistance in educating our students. Through regular interactions with their Community Faculty member, the first-year students acquire important knowledge and skills that will be critical to their success as future Doctors of Physical Therapy. For example, the students learn how to complete a patient interview, and gain insights about the experience of living with a physical disability.
