Description
The Professional Doctorate of Physiotherapy at Bond University offers the opportunity for advanced application of evidence-based physiotherapy research and practice in the industry. Through engagement in a doctoral capstone experience, students will build upon the comprehensive clinical, business, and research skills developed during the Doctor of Physiotherapy program to design and implement an innovative and applied response to a current practice issue through doctoral-level research, contributing to the development of new knowledge in the field. Students will have the opportunity to collaborate and engage meaningfully with industry partners and experienced academic mentors to develop advanced skills and in-depth knowledge in their individual topic of interest in one or more areas, including clinical practice, leadership, program and policy development, advocacy, education, or theory development. The Professional Doctorate of Physiotherapy is a higher degree by research program awarded for a combination of coursework, clinical placement, and internship followed by a doctoral thesis.
