The Duke Doctor of Physical Therapy Program is hosting the 6th Annual Summer Discovery Program from June 27 – July 1, 2022. This intensive program will immerse participants completely in the profession of physical therapy.  In the end, participants will have gained exposure to multiple areas in the profession of physical therapy and have the information they need to be more competitive and to effectively matriculate into Doctor of Physical Therapy programs.

Participants will have access to some of the top faculty in the profession of physical therapy, will have interdisciplinary opportunities, receive mentorship from current DPT students, faculty, clinicians, and admission specialists; as well as have opportunities to take advantage of Duke’s state of the art facilities. 

Housing arrangements, meals, and transportation will be provided for all participants during the program; however, participants are responsible for their travel to and from the program.  To be eligible to participate, applicants must be current undergraduate students at the time of application (freshman – senior) and must have a cumulative undergraduate GPA of 3.0 or higher.  All current undergraduate students are welcome to apply; however, preference will be given to demographics that are underrepresented within the profession of physical therapy, educationally/economically disadvantaged, or students interested in serving underrepresented/underserved populations.
