Job Description

Texas A&M International University (TAMIU) is seeking candidates for the Inaugural Director of the Physical Therapy program in the College of Nursing and Health Sciences. The successful candidate will be an effective, innovative and collaborative leader who will build and develop a new Doctor of Physical Therapy program (DPT) in a growing international University of nearly 9,000 students, serving as the cultural and intellectual hub of a vibrant multilingual and multicultural community. The College of Nursing and Health Science (CNHS) has seen progressive growth and will be adding a new State-of-the-art Health Sciences Education and Research Center in Fall, 2025. The addition of a DPT program strategically positions the College and the University to address the medically underserved communities it serves and the health needs of the region.

Reporting directly to the Dean of the College with both teaching and administrative responsibilities in a 12-month clinical track appointment, the Director of the DPT program will be a key leader in advancing the mission of TAMIU and preparing students to practice in an increasingly complex and multicultural society. The Inaugural Director of the Physical Therapy program offers a unique leadership opportunity to lead and shape strategy and bring a critical health care discipline to a medically underserved community. The Director will also have responsibility for leading the initial accreditation process with the Commission on Accreditation of Physical Therapy Education (CAPTE), development of curriculum, development of DPT specific policies and procedures and ensuring the DPT program follows all state and national accrediting and professional bodies.
