As part of the Southwest Area Health Education Center’s Summer Health Career Academy, several Pitt Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) students from the Class of 2025 helped lead an engaging career exploration session for 30 high school students in Pittsburgh. 💪 Participating students learned about the PT profession and heard personal stories from current Pitt DPT students about what led them to Pitt’s DPT program. With guidance from our DPT students, highschoolers also got to try out hands-on skills including goniometry, heart rate measurements, and balance tasks. 🌟
Thank you to the following DPT students for partnering with this community program to raise awareness about physical therapy in a fun, interactive way! 🎉
