Frankie-Ann McCauley, a student in the 6th and final year of our program, presented a poster at the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA) Combined Sections Meeting (CSM) in February 2022, in San Antonio, TX. The poster title was "Mentoring New Faculty in a Physical Therapy Program" and was presented in collaboration with Drs. Laura Gras and Barb Belyea.
Program Highlights
Students are the highlight of our program. They are constantly involved in service to their future profession and to their community. Below are just a few examples:
Members of the Ithaca College Physical Therapy Student of Color organization (ICPTSOC), received the opportunity to attend the Combined sections meeting this past weekend in San Antonio Texas. Students presented, attended various sessions, networking events and connected with many students and clinicians across the country.
Three of our current students, Tayo Akinboboye, Sebastian Alderete, and Devon Morris were elected to serve on the 2021-2022 Student Board of Directors
Our students and faculty collaborated with Athletic Training students to perform movement screening in our very own Ithaca Varsity Baseball team. Physical Therapy students performed the Functional Movement Screen, mobility assessments, and FitLight sport-specific reaction time activities to help the athletes optimize their performance for the spring season
Students and faculty members of one of our student groups, Ithaca College Physical Therapy Students of Color (ICPTSOC), collaborated with Wonderful Wheelchairs -- a volunteer based, non-profit organization that seeks to help members of the community gain access to mobility equipment
