For more information, see <a href=\"https://graduate.ucf.edu/fellowships/\" target=\"_blank\">UCF Graduate Fellowships</a>, which includes descriptions of university fellowships and what you should do to be considered for a fellowship.</p> <p><strong>Grad Fellowships</strong><br />Telephone: 407-823-0127<br /><a href=\"mailto:gradfellowship@ucf.edu\">gradfellowship@ucf.edu</a><br /><a href=\"https://funding.graduate.ucf.edu/\" target=\"_blank\">Website</a></p><p>The program is designed to enable students to demonstrate in the classroom, and later in the clinic, that they have achieved levels of comprehension and competence expected of entry-level physical therapists. Thus, the curriculum not only involves the didactic and clinical components of professional education, but also co-curricular activities which include integrated patient experiences, interprofessional education activities, and a research curriculum.</p> <p>Integrated patient experiences are authentic, brief encounters with patients and patient populations through activities that are typically embedded into several DPT courses. In alignment with this requirement, the UCF DPT Program requires full participation from enrolled students. These activities may be directly aligned with DPT courses and assigned a grade, while others may be more programmatic in nature, outside of traditional coursework. All activities are designed to assist student development and understanding of various patient care issues. This will include exposure to various clinical settings and populations that will assist students in becoming more effective and safe practitioners when they enter formal clinical education or upon graduation and eventual licensure. </p> <p>Interprofessional education (IPE) is an educational model that aligns with professional standards in physical therapy education accreditation. This consists of students learning in collaborative team environments that include the involvement of students from differing professional disciplines. This co-curricular thread that is embedded into the UCF DPT Program and includes participation in a collaborative IPE curriculum with various partners including but not limited to: UCF College of Medicine, UCF College of Nursing, UCF School of Social Work, UCF Counselor Education, and the UF College of Pharmacy.</p> <p>The research curriculum aligns with professional standards in physical therapy education accreditation, in which the program fosters the understanding of clinical research. Areas of competency include the ability to independently locate reputable information, interpret study findings, and implement research into clinical practice. Thus, students enrolled in the UCF DPT Program will take part in research throughout their curriculum. All students are required to work in small groups and complete a research project under the mentorship of a faculty member who serves as their research advisor. These projects culminate in a written manuscript, poster and oral research presentations at UCF. Students may also have the opportunity to present their research at state, regional, and national conferences. Many UCF DPT students have gone on to have their work published in peer reviewed journals.</p> <p><strong>Equipment Fee</strong></p> <p>Students in the Doctor of Physical Therapy program pay a $90 equipment fee each semester that they are enrolled.</p>",
