3rd year Drexel DPT student Alexis had the opportunity to visit APTA Headquarters with her clinical cohort at R2P! They toured APTA Headquarters in Alexandria, VA and learned more about PT advocacy and the important role physical therapists can play in advocating for their patients and the profession. A great experience learning more about the impact of PT beyond the clinic! 🩺💪

7 of our students from the Class of 2027 just returned home from an incredible week long trip to Zacapa, Guatemala! In partnership with Hearts in Motion, they worked alongside SPTs from Arcadia University, 5 clinician mentors, and 2 pediatric residents. Throughout the week, they participated in treatment days at established and mobile clinic locations, collaborated with local therapists through an information sharing session, and gained hands on experiences they’ll carry with them throughout their future careers as PTs! Safe to say it’s a week they’ll never forget!🩺🫀🇬🇹✨
