Empower the USF Doctor of Physical Therapy Class of 2027

Who We Are

The USF Health School of Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Sciences (SPTRS) is dedicated to "Moving Lives Forward" through the education of students in an inclusive academic, research and clinical environment that embraces diversity, innovation, discovery, knowledge, expertise, leadership, collaboration and partnerships.

The Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) degree and professional athletic training and orthopaedic residency programs are designed to help students innovate and lead in the fields of health and wellness. We provide excellent educational opportunities, a growing research enterprise advancing our knowledge, a physical therapy center providing clinical care to patients in the Tampa Bay area, and various service opportunities for faculty and students to give back to our communities.

Our position within the USF Health Morsani College of Medicine fosters unparalleled collaboration, enhancing our educational, clinical care and research efforts. Together we are all "Making Life Better" and "Moving Lives Forward."

The Project

Invest in the future of our physical therapists by supporting our DPT Class of 2027!

On March 14, SPTRS will honor the Class of 2027 by presenting students with their first white coat, welcoming them to the physical therapy profession and affirming their oath of professionalism. Today, we invite you to invest in these students' dreams by making a gift to sponsor their first white coat.

The Commitment to the Profession Ceremony has become a critical and meaningful annual tradition. It shows our students that from the very beginning of their "Moving Lives Forward" journey, a grateful community has invested in their success and they are not alone as they enter a life dedicated to healing and improving the lives of others.

Your Impact

Through the generosity of donors like you, our newest class of physical therapy students are gifted with their first white coats. By making your commitment, you can help us ensure that every member of the Class of 2027 benefits from this selfless act of philanthropy.
