Elon College and North Carolina State University co-organized an animal rehabilitation elective course given to 12 MPT and 12 DVM students and conducted a post-course survey of the participants. Changes in perceptions of the field of animal rehabilitation, in perceived practice patterns, in the DVM students' perception of the field of PT, and in knowledge of animal rehabilitation were present for 84-100% of students who answered the survey.
