The Physical Therapist Adjunct Faculty member is responsible for teaching in the Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) educational program, most often in the classroom, but may also teach students in the clinic. The Adjunct Faculty member teaches, whether in the classroom or in the clinic, a substantial portion, if not the entire course (with oversight from a core faculty member). The Adjunct Faculty member should be distinguished by unique clinical skill, content knowledge, or both. For example, Adjunct faculty lend greatly to the curriculum in the teaching of Selectives, which are often centered upon highly specialized areas of physical therapist practice like women’s health, diagnostic ultrasound, or animal physical therapy. Candidates will be expected to demonstrate sound judgment, expertise, professionalism, and teaching ability.
