The Mission, Vision, and Core Values of the Division of Physical Therapy, The Ohio State University

The faculty, staff, students, and alumni share a great sense of pride in the 50+ year history and accomplishments of the Physical Therapy Program of The Ohio State University. The program is energized by its location within a vibrant and diverse University whose slogan is to “Do Something Great.” The school spirit, the traditions, and loyal alumni enrich the academic and clinical practice environment of the Physical Therapy Division within the Ohio State University Medical Center.

Our vision is that the Physical Therapy Division of The Ohio State University will be among the nation's truly great physical therapy programs.
