Full Story

To program directors: We need your insights!

Jul 7, 2025

All program directors should have received a survey from the Task Force on Best Practices in DPT Admissions and Retention.

 

Consideration of your responses will be paramount in the Task Force final report and recommendations for best practices in DPT admissions.

Important Instructions:

1. The person completing this survey should be the person who oversees the admissions process for the DPT program. You may share this email and survey link with colleagues to ensure the most accurate data.

2. You may save your progress and return to it later across multiple sessions. The survey will take approximately 15 minutes to complete.

3. Please submit the completed survey by September 3, 2025.

4. Some questions refer to applicant and program data that is found in PTCAS and reported in the CAPTE Annual Accreditation Report, respectively. Having this data readily accessible can assist you in completing the survey.

 

All survey responses will be completely confidential. To protect the institution's privacy, all data will be anonymized and aggregated before analysis. Any findings shared publicly or published will not include any identifying information.

 

In the months following the survey’s closure, members will have access to the survey results, including the Task Force’s final report with recommendations for best practices in DPT admissions. The Task Force will also present the data and recommendations at CSM.

 

For questions or assistance, please contact us at data@acapt.org.

 

Thank you for participating. Your input is essential for advancing excellence in physical therapy education and best practices in DPT admissions.
