Idaho State University offers the only Doctor of Physical Therapy degree in Idaho.
The national Commission on Accreditation in Physical Therapy Education granted final program approval in May of 2018.
Expansion of the three-year program in 2018 added 24 seats to Meridian, complementing the existing 24 in Pocatello.
The new digs are part of a $3.4 million, 30,000-square-foot build-out on the second floor of the Sam and Aline Skaggs Health Science Center at ISU-Meridian. The project includes orthopedic skills and neuromanagement laboratories, offices, a wellness room, and classrooms equipped with distance-learning technology to connect Meridian to Pocatello.
Classrooms and labs on the Pocatello campus have also been upgraded to accommodate the program expansion and ensure physical therapy students on both campuses share comparable educational experiences. Renovations include a new ventilation system in the anatomy and physiology labs, remodeled classrooms, and state-of-the art distance-learning equipment.
