Western Kentucky University, shared an update PostedThursday, September 3, 2020 at 2:53 PM COVID UPDATE: Many healthcare settings have placed COVID restrictions on student observation and shadowing. For this reason, the WKU DPT Program is making the following changes for the 2020-21 cycle: Reference Requirements: 2 Letters are required, but there is no longer the requirement that one must be from a PT. We encourage you to obtain a letter from PT, but will accept reference letters from other individuals that would be able to speak to your character, work ethic, and professionalism. PT Observation Hours: PT hours are not required but are considered. We continue to believe any experience working, volunteering, or observing PT’s will give exposure for greater understanding regarding PT practice; however, your lack of ability obtaining PT Observation hours will not be scored when assessing your application. If you have not been able to interact with a PT and observe PT practice, we recommend you educate yourself regarding the field of physical therapy and the APTA.
