Gladys Said:

Is the salary for a Doctors in Physical therapy more than a Masters in physical therapy?

We Answered:

Typically, they are about the same. It depends more on your experience and any specialty certification you may hold such as a neuroclinical specialist or a manual therapy certification. It will also depend on your facility's needs. I transitioned to the DPT a couple years ago (and had my employer pay for it)...I was very happy to complete the free education and it definetely improved my assessment skills and wholism as a therapist. It did ask if I would be eligible for a salary increase and was told "your job position is not structured to differentiate between the MS and DPT." I whole-hearterdly encourage the DPT, but highly recommend doing it in conjunction with a certification (such as OCS or NCS). You may be able to receive credit towards the DPT for those courses and you may have more leverage when negotiating salary.
