Clinical Experiences

Students are not required to complete a clinical experience outside of Missoula. However, due to the limited number of clinical sites, most of our students have at least one clinical experience outside of Missoula. Students are responsible for travel, housing and living expenses related to clinical education, and costs may vary depending on location and length of each experience.

WICHE

The UMPT Program is a part of the Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education's (WICHE) Professional Student Exchange Program (PSEP) for more information please visit the WICHE website.
