Make a GiftTraining world-class health care professionals

"There is nothing that compares to the feeling of being able to take a patient from complete dependency on others to being able to function independently in society. When this new program secures the support it needs to conduct relevant research and build innovative facilities, physical therapists trained at Lynchburg College will be -- directly and indirectly -- assisting thousands of patients like this around the world." - Dr. Kevin Brueilly, founding director of the doctor of physical therapy program |
With health care expected to be one of the largest areas of job growth into the next decade and beyond, Lynchburg College is enhancing existing health sciences offerings and designing new programs to meet the needs of our students and community. We have added a new master's degree in nursing and a competitive Doctor of Physical Therapy program to complement our thriving programs in athletic training, exercise physiology, health and physical education, health promotion, nursing and sport management.
Our vision for the future:
The new 60,000-square-foot Health Sciences Building rivals most health science facilities at major universities. Lynchburg College is also partnering with Centra and Central Virginia Community College to open a nearby Regional Health Science Simulation and Virtual Learning Center. With these new programs and facilities, Lynchburg health sciences graduates will be among the world's best-trained health care professionals.
Why DPT Is Unique:
- Instructional material integrated across the curriculum
- Proven instructional methods, grounded in research
- Student-centered environment
- Close working relationship with faculty
- State-of-the-art classroom and laboratory facilities
- On-site dedicated physical therapy research areas
- Faculty committed to every student's success
- Established partnership with regional health care facilities
Anonymous Foundation Challenge for Doctorate in Physical Therapy Program
Lynchburg College has received a challenge grant from an anonymous foundation in support of the new facility for our doctor of physical therapy (DPT) program. The grant, in the amount of $30,000, will provide support specialized laboratory equipment for the program. Gifts and pledges received through December, 2011 will allow the college to claim this one-to-one challenge grant and thus enable us to acquire critical equipment, such as the new motion analysis lab that is needed for this program. Help us to reach our goal!
