DPTI Placements
Lake Washington Physical Therapy is proud to be a teaching clinic and feel this is the life blood to our talented staff as well as how we can effectively grow the profession by placing curious doctorate physical therapy interns (DPTI) with excellent clinicians. Our clinicians and facilities do their best to accommodate graduating 3rd year doctorate interns. The process for selection includes an introduction, CV, application, Interview and then vetting. Our facilities prioritize previous shadows, interns, and regional universities first. LWPT attempts to have at least 1 DPTI per clinic per year in an attempt to give back to Universities and help our profession grow. Katie Hutchins, PT, DPT heads up the request process and you can contact her directly below or simply apply using the “apply” button.
