what medical degree is rpt
RPT is a now archaic description, standing for registered physical therapist.. The term was widely used prior to the 1990's when all physical therapists graduated with either a Bachelor's Degree or an equivalent Certificate of Completion (usually 18 months of study for someone who already had a Bachelor's Degree in another field of study).
The DPT is an entry-level professional program leading to the Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) degree. The program is designed for students who have a bachelorâs degree and are seeking a professional licensure as a physical therapist.
