Thank you for your interest in the Rehabilitation Science Doctoral Program in the College of Public Health and Health Professions at the University of Florida. The RSD program provides comprehensive graduate training to future rehabilitation scholars, building skills in research, teaching, and interdisciplinary teamwork in movement science and disability science. We train rehabilitation scholars with an innovative graduate program that builds skills in research, teaching, and interdisciplinary teamwork in disability science and movement science. Students design their own specialty area within the broad categories of:

• Disability Science
• Movement Science

Upon successful completion of this 90-credit post-baccalaureate program, students receive their Ph.D. and are well positioned for faculty positions in research universities and research centers. We also offer the opportunity to simultaneously earn a Master of Public Health in one of five specialized areas, such as Health Management and Policy, while pursuing a Ph.D. as part of our Ph.D./MPH program.
