We teach Physical Therapists to successfully practice in the Emergency Department.
Dr. Rebekah Griffith, The ED DPT, specializes in care in the Emergency Department. Dr. Griffith believes PT in the Emergency Department is a critical way to move upstream in healthcare that supports patients in life’s most critical moments. Dr. Griffith has been an invited lecturer, regular presenter, podcast guest, and article contributor on this topic. Additionally, she was instrumental in passing two motions within the APTA House of Delegates in support of Emergency Physical Therapist practice and is a founding member of the Emergency PT Steering Committee within the Academy of Acute Care. In addition to initiating a thriving ED PT program in a large academic medical center, she is in the midst of a new pilot program expanding this role. The ED DPT will prepare you to successfully practice in the Emergency Department so that patients have access to the right provider at a critical moment in their healthcare journey.
