The academic and clinical faculty in the School of Physical Therapy Educational Program at the University of Montana aim to foster humaneness and compassion, professional and ethical behaviors, life-long learning, and cultural sensitivity. The School hosts four research laboratories dedicated to the pursuit of scholarship. These include the Motor Control Research Laboratory, Movement Science Laboratory, Montana PACE (Peripheral Artery and Cardiac Exercise) Laboratory and the Applied Exercise Physiology Research Laboratory. The Applied Exercise Physiology Research Laboratory also houses new Directions, an outreach clinical facility that includes research involving the needs of people with chronic diseases and disabilities from the community.
