PhD in Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Science, UCSF

Our PhD in Rehabilitation Science is a collaborative effort between The University of California San Francisco (UCSF) and San Francisco State University (SFSU) that takes a non-traditional approach to address the broader perspective of both basic and clinical sciences in the following specializations:

• Clinically Informed Neuroscience – developed based on the increasing prevalence of neurodegenerative diseases (e.g., Multiple Sclerosis and Parkinson’s Disease), stroke, and traumatic brain injuries (TBI) in the U.S. population.
• Musculoskeletal Biomechanics – unraveling the contribution of human movement and loading to health and disease, and exploring new technology and interventions to optimize function.

Graduates of the PhD program in Rehabilitation Science will be well-prepared as researchers, educators, and leaders in the field of rehabilitation science.  Our interdisciplinary educational approach prepares students to conduct collaborative and translational research by integrating knowledge from multiple perspectives, ranging from the cellular to the systems level, to solve complex problems of physical disablement.

Our next class of PhD students will enroll in fall 2023, with applications available from September 1, 2022, through January 15, 2023. 

In the meantime, please feel free to visit us online, and email us with any questions.
