Abstract
  • Background: Hybrid DPT education has emerged as a model many educators feel holds promise in addressing some of the calls to action in DPT education. Data indicate an increasing number of hybrid DPT programs, yet very little is known about the hybrid DPT student. Purpose: This study aimed to explore hybrid DPT student demographic characteristics, tolerance for ambiguity and perfectionism factors, and key considerations in the student’s selection of a hybrid DPT program. Method: The study used a quantitative, non-experimental, cross-sectional design with the administration of a Qualtrics survey to explore demographics, student experience, and key considerations data. Data analysis included descriptive statistics to determine measures of central tendency. Results: The median age of the sample was 25 years, with 72.0% females and 29.3% racial minorities. 33.5% of participants were married and 13.5% had children. 54.4% were accepted to more than one program. The median score for tolerance for ambiguity was 23, and the median scores for perfectionism striving and evaluative concerns were 15.2 and 11.4, respectively. The most important considerations in selecting their hybrid DPT program were outcome factors of graduation and employment rates and NPTE pass rates. Conclusion: Hybrid DPT students look very similar to residential DPT students compared to published aggregate data, with main differences in marital status and those with children. New and expanding hybrid DPT programs should consider outcomes as a key driver in student selection of their program.
