Thanks to the over 200 member institutions that were able to complete the 2023 Institutional Profile Survey. We hope the collective data from these Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) Programs will help us all make better decisions and continue research in the pursuit of excellence in academic physical therapy.
In late spring 2023:
- You can use the aggregate data to help make informed decisions and negotiate with your provost for the long-term benefit of your DPT program.
- The collective, de-identified data will help DPT programs think beyond accreditation standards & how to continuously improve in an ongoing pursuit of excellence.
All data is confidential; reporting will be aggregated and deidentified. Read more about ACAPT's commitment to data confidentiality and security.

Survey topics include:

- Faculty & students
- Diversity, equity & inclusion
- Scholarly inquiry
- Program-level autonomy
- Program costs & student financial support

The survey helps foster:
- Innovation: We recognize that each institution has a unique mission, structure and approach. Participating member institutions will be able to run interactive reports and use the survey aggregate data to consider different DPT program approaches. You may find that certain data will help you make a business case to your administration about changes you’d like to make.
- Inquiry: When you access the survey results, you may question certain assumptions, gain new insights and consider different ways to approach teaching or serving your community. See an example of from the 2022 DPT program staffing numbers.
You can also use the Excellence Framework to continue discussions within your DPT program and motivate continuous improvement amongst all engaged in academic physical therapy.
- Confidentiality: The report includes aggregate data and individual responses will be kept completely confidential and secure. The Center is designed to inform and guide – not to compare and assess.
