As a public institution dedicated to the discovery, dissemination, and application of scientific knowledge, Augusta University (formerly the Medical College of Georgia, Georgia Health Sciences University and Georgia Regents University) values leadership, social responsibility, compassion, diversity, professionalism, and excellence. The Doctor of Physical Therapy program is designed to challenge talented and ambitious learners to grow into reflective physical therapy practitioners. The Department of Physical Therapy is housed in state of the art teaching and research facilities including a human movement science laboratory, and cardiovascular health and wellness laboratory.
