Purpose: The purposes of this study were (1) to examine the qualifications and expertise of individuals teaching cardiovascular and pulmonary physical therapy (CVP-PT) content at entry-level DPT education programs and (2) to determine the amount of time devoted to the content and method of delivery. Methods: A survey sent through email to 206 program directors of accredited DPT programs assessed institutional demographics, the faculty teaching the CVP-PT content, and the method of delivery. The responses were examined descriptively using frequency counts and percentages. Results: There was a 49.5% response rate with 102 completed surveys.Among faculty teaching CVP-PT content, 54% had a PhD/EdD, 32% a DPT, and 19% had other degrees. Only 43% teaching the CVP-PT content had a Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Clinical Specialist (CCS) certification. Approximately, 83% of the institutions employed a full-time faculty member to teach the CVP-PT content. Most programs used a single course to deliver the CVP-PT content and 84% reported the use of simulation for CVP-PT content delivery. Conclusions: These results demonstrated that entry-level DPT programs responding to the survey had qualified faculty with CVP-PT expertise and that there is a need to encourage further professional development of faculty with CCS credentials.
