Bottom Line Up Front: Baylor is starting a new hybrid DPT program that mirrors the one at South College.
I think most of us knew this was inevitable after South introduced this model a couple of years ago. I am a little surprised, however, that it is happening so soon. The first class at South hasn't graduated or even attempted the boards yet. I figured more established schools would at least want to see if this model was effective before they decided to follow suit. What happens if half or even 25% the kids who graduate can't pass the boards? John Childs has been dubbed the program director and I know his name carries a lot of weight in the industry but it still seems risky. He was also a driving force behind the creation of the program at SC. I have to wonder whether the Baylor program is going to be associated heavily with EIM like South is. John is the CEO at EIM and that would most definitely be a conflict of interest.
Thoughts?
