Purpose This academic club is designed especially for those students who intend to pursue a career in physical therapy. As a primary source of information on campus, this club offers support, academic advice, and guidance for students who want to attend a graduate physical therapy program upon completion of their undergraduate degree. Club Activities The members of this club are given the opportunity to meet other students with the same career goals. The club meets three times per semester, typically once a month giving the students time to ask questions concerning their intended major, course scheduling, as well as the application process. At the meetings, members are also exposed to a variety of people involved in the PT field. Guest speakers usually include licensed physical therapists, members of admission committees, and ND alumni who are currently graduate students enrolled in MPT/DPT programs. Information regarding local physical therapy departments is available through the club for members to obtain observation and volunteer experience.
