Please join us in congratulating our dearest friend and faithful part-time faculty member Dr. Beth Heick, who was awarded the professional designation of board-certified clinical specialist in neurologic physical therapy by the American Board of Physical Therapy Specialties (ABPTS) of the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA) today.

The American Congress of Rehabilitation Medicine (ACRM) awarded Amit Kumar, assistant professor of physical therapy and athletic training, the 2020 ACRM Elizabeth and Sidney Licht Award for his paper, “Use of Hospital-Based Rehabilitation Services and Hospital Readmission Following Ischemic Stroke in the United States.” The paper examines the association between hospital-based rehabilitation service use and all-cause 30-day hospital readmission among patients with ischemic stroke.
DPT students from both Flagstaff and Phoenix traveled to Payson to help provide free FUNfitness PT screens to Special Olympic athletes during a basketball tournament. Our community is very important to us and we support our students in giving back in the midst of their studies!
