Hopefully, all Nigerian Physiotherapy training programs will transit to the Doctor of Physiotherapy (DPT) degrees in a not too distant future. In North America, and hopefully, very soon in Nigeria, the minimum Entry-level education programs are typically at the Master and Doctoral levels, i.e., Master of Physical Therapy (MPT) or Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT).
