Meet the Physical Therapy Education Expert

Providing 1 one 1 NPTE exam tutoring for students over the past several years, Dr. Rzepkowski noticed that many students were struggling with medical terminology and self-study review methods. Students suffered what he calls the “Covid content Gap.” This was due to a sudden shift in the program delivery leaving students with a lack of content knowledge and organization in critical areas for review. He also discovered students lacked an effective or definable test-taking strategy.

Dr. Rzepkowski (Dr. Z as he is known to his students) observed that before working with PTCE, students had used self-study and recorded content review. Many of these students repeated the boards 2, 3, and 4 times. After working with those students and employing my methods, strategies, and concentrated review sessions, students successfully passed their board exams. Seeing this great success, I made it my mission to provide this method in a much broader platform to reach a greater number of students.

Dr. Rzepkowski has developed live interactive instructional modules that help students strengthen their test-taking skills, comprehension of medical terminology, and understanding of the 3 critical content areas for the NPTE: Musculoskeletal, Neuromuscular, and Cardiopulmonary. I am confident that 1st time and repeat exam takers alike will benefit from this live interactive delivery method that focuses on the nuts and bolts of key therapeutic concepts.

Dr. Rzepkowski has 40+ years of clinical experience and is an assistant professor. He has over 16 years of university instructional experience in physical therapy and occupational therapy education. He specializes in orthopedic and neuromuscular content, providing hands-on and online course delivery in advanced continuing education courses for licensed therapists.
