Meet Your Director

At Touro Nevada, we strive to offer a supportive educational environment that meets the current needs of our students. Our Doctor of Physical Therapy program is dedicated to preparing knowledgeable, skilled and caring practitioners who can assume and adapt to the multiple roles of a physical therapist in our ever-changing healthcare environment. We aim to foster the development of altruistic, independent, creative, analytical thinkers who are prepared to respond to a full spectrum of treatments for their patients.

Our graduates are critical thinkers who embrace a high level of ethical and moral values including a service to society and lifelong learning which will inform their clinical practice. Here, you will believe in total patient care, guided by a belief in human worth and dignity, and dedicated to the optimization of human health. And even after you graduate, your faculty will continue to be a part of your personal and professional life.

We welcome your inquiries and interest in our programs. 

Best regards,
