Programs that reflect your mission, strengthen your reputation, and expand your academic reach
Hybrid and Distance Education that Shapes What’s Next
For academic leaders shaping what’s next, progress is intentional—anchored in mission, focused on the future, and grounded in a commitment to long-term growth and academic integrity.
Rehab Essentials collaborates with institutions to launch graduate-level hybrid and distance programs that align with academic priorities and accelerate strategic goals. Whether expanding a portfolio or creating new entry points, each initiative empowers faculty, protects academic identity, and supports sustainable growth.
Models Built for Impact
Strategic growth requires more than new ideas—it requires models that align with academic values and move at the speed of institutional vision. Hybrid and distance programs can balance limited resources with bold aspirations—supporting innovation without compromise.
Our programs complement existing strengths, accelerate speed to market, and generate new revenue—while upholding the academic integrity that defines your institution.
Strategic Initiatives
Reputation is built on outcomes, relevance, and the ability to lead with purpose. Hybrid and distance programs provide institutions with powerful tools to distinguish themselves in a competitive academic landscape.
Through launching our entry-level enTandem DPTSM or offering post-professional degrees that meet emerging credential expectations, these programs reflect your university’s values while expanding its influence. Each solution reinforces academic excellence, deepens stakeholder trust, and positions your institution as a forward-thinking leader.
Sustain What Matters.
Growth must be both meaningful and measurable when navigating complex financial and academic priorities. Hybrid and distance graduate programs offer a way forward—expanding enrollment capacity within budget realities.
Designed for speed to enrollment and cost recovery, our programs minimize infrastructure requirements. By focusing investment where it matters most, institutions generate sustainable returns, aligned to your priorities.
Lead With Confidence.
Our collaborative model engages your academic teams from day one—aligning initiatives with university strategies. Together, we shape each program—hybrid, or 100% online—to uphold governance, reflect curriculum values, and support long-term success.
From implementation planning and stakeholder alignment through faculty coaching and curriculum integration, every step builds your internal capability and ensures your programs deliver impact that lasts.
Respond to Market Realities.
The future of graduate health education is inclusive, adaptable, and workforce-informed. Hybrid and distance programs create new access points for non-traditional learners—without compromising on quality or faculty engagement.
By aligning delivery with evolving workforce needs, your institution can meet accreditation standards, serve underserved regions, and build programs that reflect today’s—and tomorrow’s—healthcare landscape.

Academic Leaders care about most
What makes enTandem DPT℠ different from other hybrid education models?
enTandem DPT℠ is a strategic academic collaboration—not just a content solution. In addition to the expertly curated curriculum, program, faculty and university support in program development and implementation are provided by expert physical therapy educators who are knowledgeable in curriculum design, instructional technology, learning science and accreditation requirements. The program also provides access to enrolment, marketing, and technology support. Our comprehensive model is designed for continuous growth and responsible scalability.
What is the expected return on investment (ROI) for enTandem DPT℠?
The initial investment recovery can be achieved as early as the first 1–2 years of enrollment. This is due to accelerated launch timelines, staged faculty onboarding, and a fully developed curriculum significantly reduces start-up costs and shortens the time to a positive ROI. The ROI varies by institution due to differences in cohort size, program tuition, and faculty/staff salaries. We can provide a customized ROI model aligned to your university's financial planning—please contact us to begin the process.
Can enTandem DPT℠ help us increase enrollment?
Yes. Institutions can grow enrollment by expanding cohort sizes or reaching student populations unable to commit to traditional formats. enTandem DPT℠ supports both approaches—allowing programs to meet demand while maintaining academic quality and reducing faculty strain.
Why shouldn’t we build our own entry-level hybrid DPT program?
While possible, most universities find that building a high-quality, contemporary, blended education model requires learning science expertise, a significant commitment of time and substantial cost to develop. Rehab Essentials has curriculum development, distance education and accreditation expertise. We have spent over 2 years in the content curation and development with experts in physical therapy education. We have invested more than $2 million to record this content with evidence-based instructional technologies and online delivery characteristics. Replicating this level of academic and technical infrastructure internally is often cost-prohibitive and time-intensive—particularly for institutions seeking to launch quickly and meet accreditation expectations.
What are the financial advantages for the university for the post-professional programs?
This collaboration creates a scalable, financially efficient, low-risk path to new graduate revenue without requiring additional internal resources. Institutions can expand their academic portfolio, engage new student segments, and realize net tuition revenue through a fully delivered academic model. In university-branded models, Rehab Essentials manages curriculum delivery, faculty oversight, student advising, and academic operations—allowing the university to launch quickly while retaining degree authority and brand alignment.
What distinguishes Rehab Essentials from other post-professional education providers?
Universities choose Rehab Essentials for our academically led, fully delivered 100% online post-professional programs that eliminate internal program buildout while providing new enrollment streams and revenue opportunities. Program design and leadership, curriculum, faculty, student support, and university interfacing are provided by our expert PT and OT educators who are knowledgeable in instructional technology, online learning science, and contemporary professional practice. Rehab Essentials cultivates a seamless learner experience and ensures academic quality without additional internal lift for the university.
What types of institutions or organizations are a good fit for the post-professional DPT or OTD programs?
Institutions and organizations that seek to expand their graduate offerings with limited internal lift, respond to market demand among working clinicians, or extend their impact globally are strong candidates for this model. Rehab Essentials works collaboratively to assess institutional goals, readiness, and regional needs—ensuring the chosen delivery model supports long-term strategy, student success, and academic integrity.
How do these programs allow us to be competitively priced within the post-professional education market?
Rehab Essentials delivers a fully managed program within a transparent, predictable financial model—typically structured as revenue sharing. This approach enables institutions to offer advanced graduate education with minimal up-front investment and low operational overhead. Whether delivered under a university-branded or Endorsed Affiliate model, this structure supports competitive positioning while maintaining academic credibility and new revenue generation.
