Health Sciences at Dominican University New York

There is a recognised need for a new type of health science practitioner, taking on a role focused on health and wellbeing.

With our Digital Healthcare Science (BSc), you will be taught how to support individuals to help themselves to better health and wellbeing.

Physiotherapists already enjoy the professional challenge and personal satisfaction of working in the sports and exercise environment. The benefits of sports and exercise are widely known with people of all ages and abilities being encouraged by governments and health professionals worldwide to increase their participation and become more physically active. Athlete wellbeing and performance is an integral part of sports participation at the community, elite and professional levels. Being able to optimise their wellbeing and performance and prevent or manage injuries will give athletes that competitive edge that leads to success, particularly at the high performance sports and performing arts level. Sports and Exercise Physiotherapists are well placed to provide advice, education, guidance and intervention for prevention, assessment and optimal management of sports injuries and other health conditions, to maintain or improve athlete wellbeing and performance. Sports and Exercise Physiotherapists are also well placed to provide leadership and advocacy to meet individual needs of the multidisciplinary team, the community and for athletes and people of all ages and abilities, and cultural contexts. With increasing demand for healthy active lifestyles, the demand for Physiotherapists with specialised knowledge and skills in Sports and Exercise will also increase.

The Master of Sports and Exercise Physiotherapy/Master of High Performance Sport double degree aims to provide Physiotherapists with knowledge and skills to work with athletes and people of all ages, abilities and cultural contexts, in community, elite or high performance sport and exercise settings, in the private and public sectors.
