Academic administrators of all accredited entry-level physical therapy (PT) programs in the United States were surveyed using a mail questionnaire. Purpose: The purposes of the study were to find: the extent of use of computer-assisted instruction (CAI), the perceived value of CAI, and what factors affect implementation and use of CAI. Results: The response rate was 86.9%. The number of programs using CAI was 29.9%. Use of CAI within these PT programs was low. A Likert-type scale was used to quantify the perceived value of CAI. Respondents rated the value of CAI at a median score of 117 (range 76 to 143, from a possible range of 21 to 147). A five point scale was used to quantify the effect of resource, faculty, and student factors on the implementation and use of CAI. The availability of relevant CAI software was rated as having the strongest effect. Demographic characteristics of PT programs were not correlated with CAI use or its perceived value. Conclusions: Use of CAI in entry-level PT education was low despite the fact that academic administrators placed a high value on its use. The factor that most strongly affected whether CAI was used was the lack of available, relevant CAI software.
