More on the DPT

To the Editor:

Thank you for responding to my letter on the subject of clinical education as it relates to the DPT ("DPT: Is the Missing Link Still Missing?" in the July 1998 issue). I was pleased to learn that we agree on the essential point in my letter, namely, to better prepare physical therapist students to enter clinical practice.

If, in fact, I do have an underlying misconception about the DPT having the capability to resolve the problems of clinical education, my doubts are based on an old axiom of being able to judge the future by the past.

Will the constraints of current programs carry over into developing DPT programs and impede innovations in clinical education? What assurances do we have that developing DPT programs have both the human and financial resources to resolve the apparent deficiencies in clinical education?...
