About this file

This is a course curriculum document detailing the required courses, credits, faculty, and deliverables for the Army-Baylor University Doctoral Fellowship in Orthopaedic Manual Physical Therapy program. The program spans five semesters from July 2023 through June 2025, with each semester requiring between 12-16 credit hours.

The curriculum includes comprehensive coursework in clinical fellowship, functional anatomy, biomechanics, evaluation and mobilization techniques for both upper and lower quarters, evidence-based practice, pathophysiology, radiology, pharmacology, and leadership. Key faculty members Durbin and Golden teach most courses, with some specialized instruction from Thelen, Sutlive, and Pitt. Students must complete various assessments including oral boards, practical exams, research protocols, presentations, and a final manuscript with research defense. The program incorporates clinical practice through mentorship, skills development, portfolio building, and video analysis across all semesters. Special emphasis is placed on military physical therapy applications, with requirements for BAMC inservices and DPT mentoring in the final semester.
