The honest answer is: you might not need more. If you have a clinical doctorate from any institution (especially in PT) you may qualify to teach in your field already. BUT, our programs align SPECIFICALLY to produce 15 total transfer credits into the PhD and DHSc program at Faulkner University's College of Health Sciences. These programs are already highly accelerated and asynchronous. What completion of a Providence program does is reduces your credits by at least 33%, which in turn reduces your tuition and time to completion by just as much. Providence's affordable programs allow you to save over $12,000 in tuition for those who want to obtain a regionally accredited terminal degree, and do so quickly. This helps get more qualified faculty into healthcare programs SOONER, and with less student loan debt or out of pocket costs.
CEU Courses and post-professional education are accessible from anywhere at anytime, and are delivered in various formats to accomodate various types of learners (written, podcast, narrated powerpoint/presentation, etc). They are also some of the most affordable on the planet (the PPDPT IS the MOST affordable on the planet!)
As of May 2025, the Commission on Accreditation of Physical Therapy Education (CAPTE) does NOT accredit post-professional programs. (See Question 12 here.) Therefore, there is no accreditation process for PPDPT programs. Other non-university PPDPT programs exist around the country, such as EIM, Rehab Essentials, Ola Grimsby, and more. Their graduates have moved on to faculty roles and terminal degree programs without issue, as CAPTE's requirements for credentialing faculty do not mandate the DPT degree to come from an "accredited" program. Faculty simply must have licensure and meet certain practice requirements, per CAPTE standards. Post-professional DPT programs at universities are not accredited either, though the university usually is.

Depending on which subscription you choose, each one has its own monthly fee (except the Unlimited/Lifetime Plan, which is a one-time fee). Take as many CEUs as you want during the time of your subscription.
A full refund will be offered for any reason within 7 days of purchase for CEU courses. For the PPDPT program, refunds will be given within 7 days also, regardless of status in the program.
