Our user asked: "I am entering PT school in August and am a little concerned about the rising cost of the newly re-vamped DPT program (all over the nation) How willing are employers to offer re-imbursement packages to new graduates with substantial school loan debt?"

Ask a PT Response: "That is going to depend on the employer and how badly they need a physical therapist. I know at one of the hospitals I work with they are reimbursing $10,000 for a two year commitment. Job outlook is good per Bureau of Labor Statistics "Employment of physical therapists is expected to grow 27 percent from 2006 to 2016, much faster than the average for all occupations. The impact of proposed Federal legislation imposing limits on reimbursement for therapy services may adversely affect the short-term job outlook for physical therapists. However, the long-run demand for physical therapists should continue to rise as new treatments and techniques expand the scope of physical therapy practices. Moreover, demand will be spurred by the increasing numbers of individuals with disabilities or limited function."  http://www.bls.gov/oco/ocos080.htm#outlook "
