Over two days, educators, clinicians, and institutional leaders will examine the future of the DPT through discussions focused on:
- Abundance in Action
- Access and Equity in the Current Political Climate

Due to continued interest, registration for the 2026 Disruptive Innovation in Physical Therapist Education Virtual Summit has been extended through April 7, 2026
This summit brings together educators, clinicians, program directors, and institutional leaders to examine the evolving economics of physical therapist education.
As tuition rises and federal loan limits remain capped, institutions are being challenged to rethink how DPT programs are structured, delivered, and sustained; particularly as student debt levels approach and exceed $150,000.
Final registration deadline: April 7

This year’s virtual summit convenes academic leaders, private practice owners, educators, and clinicians to address one of the most urgent challenges facing the profession: ensuring the Doctor of Physical Therapy remains a high-value, financially sustainable degree.
With new national data on student debt, workforce demand, and demographic disparities, the conversation is shifting. While the DPT continues to offer strong professional opportunity, the economic tipping point is narrowing; particularly for students taking on debt exceeding $150,000.
Participants will engage across three key themes:
• Abundance in Action
• Access and Equity in the Current Political Climate
• The True Cost and Value of a DPT Degree
