6. Describe needed learning resources
a. Available resources. Indiana State University library has extensive access to online data bases. The DPT curriculum requires access to preceptors, capitol and expendable equipment supplies and augmented educational resources. We anticipate that the Physical Therapy and Athletic Training programs will have several common shared spaces. These spaces could include, but are not limited to, cadaver laboratories, research laboratories, medical libraries, plinth classrooms, and student study areas.
b. Additional resources. In addition to the shared space, the Physical Therapy program will need an identifiable program office as well as additional faculty offices. Additional course fees are needed to provide the funds to maintain the DPT curricular needs. Course fees are common among biological sciences and allied health professional education programs. Once per semester a course fee of $1,000 will be charged to assist with the cost of adjunct clinical faculty, equipment, and educational resources. We worked in collaboration with the College of Graduate and Professional Studies to identify the appropriate fee.
7. Describe other program strengths
a. Special features. A distinctive characteristic of this physical therapy program is the focus on rural and underserved populations. Although it may not be realistic to assume that all students will practice in a rural setting, many of the course offerings will provide an appreciation for the complex needs of rural and underserved populations. Furthermore, the DPT program will be located in a College which includes programs such as nursing, athletic training, community health, industrial hygiene, social work, recreational therapy, environmental health and exercise science. Health care students are usually trained in their separate disciplines however; our goal is to educate future health care providers interprofessionally. Furthermore, our relationships with the IU School of Medicine Terre Haute Center for Medication Education, Ivy Tech Wabash Valley, and the Union Hospital Family Practice Residency program will help to coordinate our students’ clinical experiences and send them as teams instead of individuals.
b. Collaborative arrangements. The interdisciplinary nature of the College precipitates collaboration with other departments for research and facilities. In addition, the IU Medical School and Lugar Center located on campus currently participate in shared grants and health care lectures appropriate for multiple disciplines. The Rural Health Innovation Collaborative (RHIC) is another collaborative opportunity with local health care facilities, Union Hospital for example, to promote the program’s mission of providing healthcare to rural and underserved populations.
C. Program Rationale
1. Institutional Factors
a. Compatibility with Institution’s Mission. Academic program offerings at Indiana State University are based upon our institutional mission, state and national workforce needs, student interest, and faculty support. Several potential new programs have undergone a rigorous review prior to initial development. The DPT has emerged as an excellent program opportunity for Indiana State University. Since the creation of the new College of Nursing, Health, and Human Services in 2008, the synergy to create a health science college that offers an array of health occupations has begun to materialize. The priority is to support programs that focus on the health care needs of rural and underserved communities. The future vision is to orchestrate the combined resources of several community institutions for improved access for rural and underserved populations, progressive evidence-based patient care, collaborative education of multidisciplinary students, and the continuing education of practicing health care professionals through the RHIC. As the name implies the RHIC is a collaborative arrangement between Union Hospital and its Lugar Center for Rural Health, Indiana University School of Medicine-Terre Haute, Indiana State University, Ivy Tech Community College, the Terre Haute Economic Development Corporation, and the City of Terre Haute.
b. Planning process. As the faculty prepared for the new College of Nursing, Health, and Human Services, the first initial faculty program committee was formed during the summer of 2007. Numerous programs were identified and several program suggestions strongly resonated with the University’s mission. After the new founding Dean was selected in 2008, he commissioned several faculty taskforces to determine the feasibility of the proposed programs. This analysis was broadened by the West Central Indiana-Area Health Education Center Health Professions Workforce Needs Assessments Report conducted by the Indiana University Bowen Research Center. Based on the mission of the new College, Indiana workforce development needs, faculty talent, and student interest, the curriculum process was initiated. Initial approval from the Provost and President for the development of a Physical Therapy program at Indiana State University has been granted. Once the program is approved, Dean Williams will secure funding for the facility preparation, faculty and staff. A Physical Therapy Program Administrator will be hired with these funds and the renovation for dedicated space for the DPT program will begin. The DPT Program Administrator will need to be hired at the associate professor level and be a seasoned physical therapy educator. It would be ideal to hire an individual that has a dual credential of Physical Therapy and Athletic Training. This individual must have a Ph.D., Ed.D, and/or the equivalent. A clinical doctorate will not suffice for the program administrator position. Once the Program Administrator is in place, the academic unit will be rename from the Athletic Training Department to the Department of Applied Medicine and Rehabilitation Services, identify the overlapping resources of Athletic Training, Physical Therapy, and Physician Assistant Studies (see Table C.1.1) describes the timeline in detail). With program candidacy approval, the Program Administrator will hire a Director of Clinical Education and any additional personnel as we plan for matriculating the first class of students. During the candidacy process, ISU will need to make clinical affiliations to meet the needs of clinical education. Because the Athletic Training Education program is already building clinical relationships within the region, the groundwork for this process has already been laid.

c. Significant impact. At present, our faculty in the allied health professions (in particular, Athletic Training and Exercise Science) often cultivates students for enrollment in various physical therapy programs state and nationwide. With the inclusion and integration of a DPT, we will no longer be preparing students to leave Indiana State, but grooming them for enrollment in our own graduate program. Undergraduate students will be attracted to Indiana State for this new degree program so we can expect not only an increase in enrollment, but also a higher quality student in the College of Nursing, Health, and Human Services. Cultivation of these students through recruitment on and off campus can eventually increase undergraduate and graduate enrollment and conferment of baccalaureate and doctoral degrees.
The addition of a DPT may also significantly impact and enhance collaborative research among allied health care professional within the college. Funding opportunities may also be enhanced due to collaborative research efforts. The graduate scholarly projects will also expand the application of evidence-based care in the discipline of physical therapy.
d. Fully utilize existing resources. The inclusion of the DPT will allow us to attract exemplary faculty and practitioner candidates with dual credentials or interests in integrated medicine. With the assistance of students and practitioners in physical therapy, the Indiana State University Rehabilitation Clinic will continue to grow financially and serve as a site for learning. The clinic and program will likely improve the health and well being of Indiana State University students, including student-athletes, faculty, staff, and the community, through initiatives geared toward prevention and health screening. In addition, with endless professional affiliations created through the development of the physical therapy program, Indiana State University will likely continue to develop its reputation as a partner and leader in the RHIC.
2. Student Demand (See Table 1: Enrollment and Completion Data)
a. Enrollment. Based on the national trend, there are more applicants interested in physical therapy than space available in current programs. The initial enrollment of 30 students per year was determined based on accreditation standard of not more that 36 student in the first class for a new program. At the end of three years, this would increase the graduate student enrollment at Indiana State University by 90 new graduate students. Informal conversations with administrators from peer institutions with physical therapy graduate programs have indicated that enrollment increased by approximately 60 students in the undergraduate pre-professional majors as an attempt to leverage their admission into the campus professional graduate program.
b. Completion data. The professional program in physical therapy anticipates a very high completion and graduation rate (97%) based on data trends from existing programs. Indiana State is committed to student success and support. The Physical Therapy students will be a new degree offering for the College of Graduate and Professional Studies and to campus (Please see Table B-3 and B-4).
3. Transferability
The College of Graduate and Professional Studies allows a maximum of 30% of course work to transfer from another accredited graduate program. However, a course must also include 80% of the content presented in the Indiana State course (Graduate Catalog). Due to the unique nature of the DPT program, few graduate courses may be transferable into Indiana State or to other institutions.
4. Access to graduate and professional programs
This criterion does not apply since this offering is a graduate program.
5. Demand and employment factors
The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that there are approximately 4110 Physical Therapists employed in the state of Indiana (2008), but more importantly, the Indiana Department of Workforce Development (2009) suggests there are far more positions available than entry-level practitioners to fill them. The state reported an anticipated 1,495 additional openings (including replacement positions) by 2016. The pool of applicants for these positions is directly affected by the availability of accredited educational sites, and without available doctoral-degree granting institutions in this region, the current and expected needs will unlikely be met. The trends suggest there will be approximately 144 new positions annually throughout the state and Physical Therapy is listed within the top 10 of the Hot 50 Jobs in Indiana in 8 of 11 regions in the state (Hoosiers by the Number, 2008). At present, the DPT granting institutions approximately contribute 116 entry-level clinicians per year (Figure C.2.1). Even if we could assume that all these students were employed in Indiana, which we cannot, the supply does not meet the demand. However, the inclusion of a DPT program at ISU can contribute to the growth of the profession within the state (increase to 146 graduates per year from DPT granting institutions).
igure C.2.1
The U.S. Department of Labor (2008-2009) has designated Physical Therapy as an occupation of which there is a national shortage, while the Indiana Department of Workforce Development (2009) describes Physical Therapy positions as difficult to fill in which there are far more positions than professionals to fill them. The profession of Physical Therapy is growing to accommodate for this shortage. In fact, Physical Therapy is among the top 30 fastest growing occupations with a 27% increase expected by 2016 nationwide (Indiana Department of Workforce Development, 2009). In the state of Indiana, the Department of Workforce Development expects to be on par with the growth in Physical Therapy, expecting a 26.94% increase statewide. However, in Indiana, there are only three Physical Therapy degree granting institutions as compared to the over 40 higher education institutions in Indiana. Furthermore, there are seven Physical Therapy degree granting institutions in Illinois, but six of the seven are located in the northern region (over 175 miles from Indiana State University).
The Health Professions Workforce Needs Assessment Report (2009, p. 15), indicated that the west central region of Indiana in 2006 was 8% below the level of physical therapist (52.9 professionals per 100,000 population) as compared to the entire state of Indiana (60.9 professionals per 100,000 population). In light of the national shortage for physical therapists, and a geographical need for additional Physical Therapy programs in Indiana, more so in the west central region, the need for Indiana State University to develop and foster a program is clear.
6. Regional, state, and national factors
a. Comparable programs. Because of the increased need for physical therapists, and a need for a program in southwest Indiana, we must be able to offer competitive programming at a reasonable cost. As compared to the other physical therapy degree granting institutions, Indiana State University can easily offer competitive tuition to resident and non-resident students at the graduate level (Table C.6.1). Both the University of Evansville and the University of Indianapolis are private institutions offering programs at a significantly higher cost than a potential offering at Indiana State University. Since projected tuition rates for private institutions were not available, the current tuition rate based on a 15 credit hour load was compared.
Table C.6.1 Undergraduate and Graduate Tuition Rates for Indiana Universities Offering Doctoral Programs in Physical Therapy.
|Indiana Universities |In-State 2009 |Out-of-State 2009 |
|Indiana State University |$4,635/sem |$9,210/sem |
|Indiana University (IUPUI) |$6,255/sem |$9,612/sem |
|University of Evansville |$13,000/sem |$13,000/sem |
|University of Indianapolis |$10,935/sem |$10,935/sem |

|St. Louis University |$15,470/ sem |$15,470/ sem |
|The Ohio State University |$5,220/sem |$12,651/sem |
|University of Illinois – Chicago |$6,082/sem |$10,523/sem |
|University of Kentucky |$5704/sem |$12472/sem |
|Washington University |$14,863/sem |$14,863/sem |
Indiana State also offers a unique focus on rural and underserved populations and seeks to provide a generalist point of view, neither of which are emphasized in the other Indiana DPT programs.
As a member of the RHIC, Indiana State University aims to join in the effort to provide more health care education programs and ultimately improve access to medical care in rural Indiana. To do this, the University needs to embrace new degree programs in health care that will address these shortages. The inclusion of Physical Therapy at Indiana State University will ease the shortage of allied health professionals in rural Indiana at a significantly lower cost than comparable institutions. Neighboring institutions in Illinois include: Bradley University, Governors State University, Midwestern University, Northern Illinois University, Northwestern University, Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine and Science, The University of Illinois at Chicago.
Community Engagement/Entrepreneurial Activity Benefits:
Clinical education, or experiential learning, is a natural component of Physical Therapy and allied health professional education. Clinical education is the application of knowledge and skills, learned in classroom and laboratory settings, to actual practice with patients under the supervision of a clinical instructor. Students enrolled in a Physical Therapy degree program will act as an extension of the University in the community. The clinical experience they gain at various clinical sites requires them to engage with citizens of the community through their learning and application of health care. Clinical education settings provide the best location to apply theory to real-time clinical practice and for students to acquire and exercise professional skills. These clinical experiences will occur at a variety of locations including outpatient or acute care hospitals and rehabilitative care centers. With over 25 independently owned Physical Therapy Clinics, two hospital systems in Terre Haute as well as 11 critical access hospitals in close proximity, these students would help promote Indiana State University within the community while helping to provide exceptional health care to its citizens. We intend to capitalize on our relationships with rural health care facilities to further enhance the patient care in these under-privileged areas and to encourage the placements of graduates in these facilities.
The Physical Therapy program will benefit Indiana State University entrepreneurially. Currently, the Indiana State University Rehabilitation Clinic employs one full-time Physical Therapist. With the addition of a Physical Therapy education program we will be able to expand our clinic and potentially hire an additional clinician. Considering the wide array of specialties offered within the College of Nursing, Health and Human Services, we anticipate developing the clinic into a community based multifaceted health and wellness center that is funded through third party reimbursement. With the maturation of the clinic, future services could include, but are not limited to, acceleration programs, fitness assessments, biomechanical assessments, fitness programming, dietetic analysis, sport psychology, strength training, home health services, etc. Because of a strong eclectic faculty, and potential for collaboration across disciplines, the possibilities for revenue and recognition are limitless.
b. External agencies. Indiana State University is regionally accredited by the Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools. The American Physical Therapy Association (APTA) is the nationally recognized professional organization for physical therapists, yet each educational institution providing physical therapy education is governed by the Commission on Accreditation in Physical Therapy Education (CAPTE). The CAPTE standards have been used to determine the content, clinical competencies, and qualifications of the faculty and staff of the program. The consolation services of Dr. Janice Loudon, Associate Professor, Department of Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Sciences, University of Kansas Medical Center, were utilized as a content expert in the development of this program. Physical therapy graduates must also submit an examination fee to the Federation of State Boards of Physical Therapy (FSBPT) and apply to the Indiana’s Professional Licensing Agency upon completion of the degree program.
D. Program Implementation and Evaluation
Implementation
Upon program approval, Indiana State will hire the Program Administrator in Spring 2010. The new Administrator will play an active role in the search for the Director of Clinical Education and the two additional faculty. The DPT program will actively recruit and enroll students to start in May, 2011. Additional details about the implementation plan and timeline care available in Table C.1.1.
Evaluation
1) Quality and efficiency
Indiana State University is committed to a systematic plan of program evaluation for all undergraduate and graduate programs. The DPT program evaluation master plan will directly correlate with both University and CAPTE standards. Criterions are organized around mission, governance, administration, faculty qualifications, students, curriculum, resources, and outcomes. Each department has an established mission that is in concert with the College and the University. This mission is reviewed every two years and revised as needed by the faculty. Faculty and students actively participate in shared governance. This is monitored and compared to internal benchmarks set by the faculty. Faculty are also expected to participate in research, experiential learning and community service. As with any new program, retention rates and student evaluations will be critical. All programs in the College compare student satisfaction on nine key indicators.
As new programs are approved, exit surveys will be conducted and the data will be analyzed for factors that could be improved. Programs are monitored for graduation rates, job placement rates, passing rates for national licensure, and program satisfaction. In addition, all programs with distinct student learning outcomes design multiple methods to measure students’ progress in meeting those outcomes. This process includes the rating of final projects, presentations, and clinical skills demonstrations. It is critical that safe, valid, and reliable assessment methods are implemented over time for continuous quality improvement applied to the process of teaching and learning. In addition to ensuring high quality outcomes, program assessment is a vital component of moving from provisional to full accreditation.
As content experts are employed at Indiana State University, training and mentoring in program assessment will be provided. Consultations with similar programs will be conducted during the initial formation of the new program after the approval has been acquired. An Advisory Committee of related stakeholders will also be assembled for bi-annual consultations to program administrators and faculty. Leadership and faculty will also belong to professional organizations and attend national conferences to stay abreast of the latest national trends. Networking among the existing DPT programs within the state of Indiana will also be a vital part of the quality connection.
2) Appropriateness of program offering to institution’s identity and mission
Indiana State University is recognized for its “excellence in experiential learning and engagement…” and its success with “master and doctoral programs primarily in professional areas.” (Indiana State University, 2008). Both the clinical education component and the scholarly research component of the DPT program align with the strengths of the University, as endorsed by the Commission on Higher Education.
3) Availability of similar programs
The state of Indiana offers only three graduate programs in physical therapy at this time. These programs include IUPUI, University of Evansville, and the University of Indianapolis. As demonstrated in the Figure C.2.1, this will not meet the growing need of Indiana residents.
4) Personal and social utility
Earning a clinical practice doctorate will allow the graduates to peruse additional career opportunities in both practice settings and higher education settings. The social utility will be the increase in the number of primary care providers that have sensitivity to the rural and underserved populations.
5) Student demand
Due to competitive admission, IUPUI had 133 total applicants of which 58 were totally qualified and the class size was 38 for 2009 (Health Professional and Prelaw Center, 2009-2010, p. 2). Highly qualified students have been rejected from obtaining a degree in health care and are adding to the state shortage of physical therapists.
6) Student access
Student access is based on the availability of program enrollment space, cost, and partnerships with clinical facilities for the students’ clinical experiences. Admitting 30 students once per year will allow for individual attention and greater student retention. Because some of the private institutions are cost prohibitive, access to a DPT program at Indiana State is beneficial to the students of Indiana. The rural focus will benefit small towns and underserved populations. Indiana State University has long established clinical contracts with these agencies due to our extensive nursing program. Informal discussions have already occurred and agencies have been open to expanding clinical partnerships for DPT students. New clinical contracts will be initiated as soon as the DPT program is approved.
7) Flexibility of program design
Due to the strict accreditation guidelines, the physical therapy program is not a flexible program design. This program is a cohort model. Indiana State is committed to student success. Student support is provided in the form of tutoring, supplemental student support (peer tutoring), stress counseling, student health center, writing center, and library support.
8) Market demand
There are two major factors that will influence the market demand for physical therapy. The first is the proposed legislative changes in congress related to health care insurance reform. This may greatly increase the number of insured Americans eligible for physical therapy services. The second factor is the increase in the aging population of the United States that will need rehabilitation services for joint repair, stroke, heart attacks, as well as other impairments. The Indiana Department of Workforce Development projects that between 2006 and 2016 there will be a need for 1,032 physical therapists. Currently, the state of Indiana is ranked 27th in physical therapist per population ratio with 77.01 physical therapists per 100,000 residents (Hoosier Hot 50 Jobs Data, 2006-2016, p.1).
9) Inter-institutional and inter-departmental cooperation
Accreditation guidelines inhibit strong inter-institutional cooperation. Each program must monitor their students’ progress through the curriculum which makes it difficult for inter-institutional cooperation. By contrast, inter-departmental and inter-program cooperation is an objective of the College. The new College of Nursing, Health, and Human Services has built a strong resource of faculty talent and research interest that focuses on an inter-disciplinary and teamed approach to allied health and applied medical professions.
10) Flexibility of providing instruction
The design of the instructional methods for effective teaching and learning is based on experiential learning and community engagement. In every course, evidence-based medicine is used guide students to best practice. Starting with the first semester, students interact with each other and faculty during clinical laboratories, cadaver experiences, and simulations. Quality learning occurs through multiple methods including digital video streaming, PowerPoint presentations, educational chat rooms, selected readings, electronic web sources, interactive faculty and student discussion with problem-based learning, concept maps, group projects, and student presentations. All courses will use a Blackboard site to enhance course organization. Every effort is made to provide content for the visual, auditory, and kinesthetic learner though high quality content delivery and coordinated clinical partnerships with preceptors in the community.
E. Tabular Information (See attached tables)
a. Table 1: Enrollment and Completion Data (See page 19). This data is based on 30 full-time students in a cohort model.
b. Table 2A and 2B: Cost and Revenue Data (See pages 20 and 21). Benefits were not added to faculty and staff salaries. The Professional Program Fee is charged to each student once per semester.
