The SMARTT program is designed to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of the fields of physical therapy, occupational therapy, physical rehabilitation, exercise physiology, and sports medicine. Students will gain valuable knowledge and skills in the diagnosis, assessment, prevention, and rehabilitation of bodily injuries and related health conditions.

Through the program, students will learn how to develop patient care plans, including assessment, evaluation, and interventions such as exercise, manual therapy, modalities, and neuro re-education. They will also learn how to set goals and create discharge plans for patients.
