University of Montana - Rehab Essentials
Educating Health Professionals in a Cost-Effective Way
Rehabilitation Administration Certificate (RAC)
The Rehabilitation Administration Certificate (RAC) provides a budget-friendly, practical, and career-enhancing plan of study that prepares health care professionals to become future managers and leaders in the evolving healthcare environment. This certificate program delivers high quality content taught by expert faculty. In addition to existing faculty in the post professional tDPT program, the RAC faculty includes experts actively managing and leading organizations (Cleveland Clinic, APTA, Johns Hopkins) at the forefront of healthcare reform. While Rehabilitation Administration Certificate is available to all health care professionals, for physical therapists planning to enroll with our post professional tDPT program it is recommended you earn your certificate and DPT at the same time.
