Predictors of National Physical Therapy Examination Failure in Graduates of a Blended Doctor of Physical Therapy Program.

Introduction: Passing the National Physical Therapy Examination (NPTE) is a necessary step in progressing into a professional career. The purpose of this study was to identify student factors that predicted failure on the first attempt of the NPTE in graduates of a blended Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) program.

Review Of Literature: Student factors that may affect NPTE outcomes have been studied in traditional physical therapist education programs but have not been studied in blended programs.
