The Associate Degree in Sciences in Physical Therapy Program strives to be an integral part in the formation of its students so that they may be prepared to function as physical therapist assistants in Puerto Rico and elsewhere. Excellence in education will be the essential principle for achieving our purpose, in response to the inalienable right that every human being has to a quality education.

          The education offered will be holistic and humanistic in nature and characterized by a desire to serve, which will promote the sensitivity required to satisfy the changing needs of the population. The faculty will be a positive role model to benefit the students, other health care providers, and the community. An exchange of affirmative attitudes among students, academic and clinical faculty, and other personnel must be fostered to achieve our philosophy, mission, goals, and objectives.
