what is the average student loan debt for a DPT graduate? Is the pay any different than someone with a bachelors or masters in physical therapy?

I don't beleive that loan debt has ever been caculated specifically for those who have earned a DPT. In 2005, the average salary for a new graduate PT was right about $42,000 a year. There was no distincition between degrees. Most facilities will tell you there is no difference in pay between MS and DPT...as both are entry level degrees. The greatest influences on your salary will be:
1. region: the southeast paying the least and the west coast paying the most
2. your experience
3. your setting
4. any certifications you hold
