SDSU DPT Program Takes Over The Big Easy

Many of our faculty and second- and third-year students attended the Combined Sections Meeting of the American Physical Therapy Association on Feb 21-24, 2018 in New Orleans, Louisiana. The Doctor of Physical Therapy Student Association applied for the competitive Student Success Fee Award and was granted the funds to support student travel and lodging costs associated with this trip.
