Commitment to Equity, Inclusion, and Anti-Racism

Department Value Statement

The Department of Physical Therapy is committed to fostering a learning and clinical environment that reflects the values of our profession and the communities we serve. We prepare physical therapists to provide high-quality, patient-centered care across diverse populations and settings.

Our approach emphasizes respect, access, and responsiveness to individual needs, recognizing that health and participation are shaped by a wide range of personal, social, and structural factors. We aim to equip students with the skills to think critically, communicate effectively, and adapt care to support the best possible outcomes for all patients.

This work is embedded across our teaching, clinical partnerships, and community engagement, and is guided by Boston University’s Community Inclusion approach. Learn more through Sargent College’s central page, which highlights priorities, resources, and connections to university-wide efforts.
