Our DPT program welcomes exceptional, compassionate, innovative students.
The Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) program at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine utilizes a holistic admissions process, considering each applicant's academic achievements, life experiences, personal attributes and passion for the profession of physical therapy.
By evaluating factors such as leadership, resilience, community involvement, commitment to patient care and educational performance, we aim to build a well-rounded cohort of future physical therapists who reflect the communities we serve.
Throughout the admission process, you can contact us at dpt-admissions@northwestern.edu.
