Dr. Steve Karas — PT, educator, researcher, and data-driven advocate for change in DPT education.

In this episode:

• Why tuition has skyrocketed — but outcomes haven’t
• The quiet epidemic of PT school dropouts
• How pass rate declines may signal deeper systemic cracks
• Are hybrid programs innovating… or racing to the bottom?
• What faculty, admissions teams, and CAPTE need to re-evaluate now

Steve’s message is clear:

Stop setting students up to survive school. Start setting them up to succeed in life.
