It is important that you begin thinking about your DPT school preferences. The suggested plan tends to include the majority of requirements for most DPT schools. Every school has autonomy over their programs and may include additional coursework. It is the student's responsibility to research the needs of the programs he/she wishes to attend. A good reference is the website apta.org -- there are links to all accredited DPT institutions from that site.
