The UCSF Department of Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Science is located in the School of Medicine, with graduate degrees supported by the Graduate Division. The Department faculty provide patient care through a Faculty Practice located at two different sites.  The Department offers three graduate degrees in physical therapy in partnership with San Francisco State University (SFSU): the UCSF/SFSU Entry level Master of Science-Doctorate in Physical Therapy (MS-DPT), the Post Professional DPT (PostProfDPT) for recent graduates, and the post professional Doctorate in Physical Therapy Science (DPTSc). The Department also supports faculty and student research in clinical and basic sciences.

Education All of the Graduate Programs in Physical Therapy are jointly offered by UCSF and SFSU. These graduate programs are not only integrated within the Graduate Divisions of both universities, but are part of the School of Medicine at UCSF and the College of Health and Human Services at SFSU. Three different degree programs in physical therapy are offered: MS-DPT, PostProfDPT and DPTSc .		Research The Department strongly supports scientific inquiry and critical thinking within the curriculum and among the faculty. The faculty are involved in a variety of basic, clinical and translational research studies. Students are integrated into faculty research programs.		Patient Care The UCSF/SFSU Graduate Program is fortunate to have several sites of clinical practice that are part of the outpatient services at UCSF and part of the Student Health Services at SFSU.
