About Us

Dr. Mary Rodgers, Chair

Welcome to the Department of Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Science at the University of Maryland School of Medicine. This is an exciting time for our department, which continues to prove itself as one of the premiere physical therapy education programs in the country more than 50 years after its inception.

Created in 1956 to provide a bachelor’s degree program in physical therapy, the department moved to a masters-level curriculum in 1991. In 2002, an entry-level Doctor of Physical Therapy program (DPT) was establsihed for students with bachelor degrees interested in pursuing careers in physical therapy
