PT Club

PT Club is a volunteer organization with a focus of community service and support of professional activities of all members. The primary responsibility of the PT Club officers, with help from the DPT Class Officers, is to assist the faculty in the orientation of the incoming class each year. Additional specific responsibilities are outlined in the constitution of the Physical Therapy Club. The faculty mentor for PT Club is Dr. Mieke Corbitt. The PT Club officers are elected in the summer of the first year of PT school and will serve for one year. All elected officers must be in good academic standing and maintain APTA membership throughout the program.
