Vision

    The College of Physical Therapy is the member of the DLS Health Sciences Institute that pioneered the integrated PT curriculum in the country. With a firm faith in God and inspired by the zeal and compassion of St. John Baptist de La Salle, the College aims to be an educational reformer in the Rehabilitation Sciences.  In this way the College of PT can help bridge the gap between the continued lack of basic rehabilitation services for Filipinos with disability and the highly specialized and advanced levels of education, and the training and practice abroad.

Mission

    Challenged by this Vision, the DLSHSI College of Physical Therapy will increase access to education and training in the Rehabilitation Sciences through alternative modes of learning.

    The College will open its academic and clinical resources to the community and provide services that will help uplift the plight of Filipinos with disabilities.   By involving the students in these outreach activities the community becomes a venue for realistic and socially relevant learning.

   Through the use of information technology, research and linkages with foreign schools, the College will maintain a globally competitive training and educational program.

    Most importantly, by instilling the Lasallian virtues, and by emphasizing the distinctive features of Rehabilitation practice -- teamwork and the holistic approach to patient are, the College will develop Christian Healers with a passion to serve those with disabilities.
