Daniel J. Malone, PT, PhD, CCS is currently an Associate Professor in the Physical Therapy Program at the University of Colorado School of Medicine and a per diem physical therapist at the University of Colorado Hospital. He earned a Master of Physical Therapy from Temple University in 1992, and a PhD in physiology from the School of Medicine at Temple University in 2008. His career as a physical therapist started at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania in what he thought was a 2 to 3 year trial of acute care practice. Almost 30 years later that passion and energy for working in the acute care set-ting has never diminished. Over his career, Dr. Malone has had the opportunity to provide physical therapist services across the continuum of care from ICU to home, as well as rotate through all hospital service lines. Prior to transitioning to the University of Colorado, he was the Cardiopulmonary Team Leader providing direct pa-tient care in the medical and surgical ICUs while mentoring staff and serving as an adjunct faculty member at several regional physical therapy programs. Dr. Malone is a board certified specialist in Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Physical Therapy since 1998 and an active member of the American Physical Therapy Association and the Cardiovascular & Pulmonary (CVP) Section. He served as president of the CVP Section as well the CVP Section delegate, nominating committee member, and program chair. Although Dr. Malone is primarily a clinician educator, he continues to participate in clinical research. His research has focused on the delivery and outcomes of physical therapy services applied to the ICU population and the frail older adult in the post-acute setting. The overall goal of Dr. Malone's scholar-ship is to advance education, clinical practice and research related to the physical therapist's manage-ment of patients with complex medical conditions.
