Our program is somewhat unique in that the curriculum emphasizes the importance of values and professional behavior. We believe that values drive behavior and thus we have selected ten core values that we believe are essential to professional behavior. We also believe that professional behaviors are fundamental to the most effective application of cognitive knowledge and clinical psychomotor skill

s. Therefore, our curriculum has been designed with an “affective” foundational core. Principles and applications of values and professional behaviors are interwoven in courses throughout the foundational sciences, clinical sciences, behavioral sciences, clinical practice, and research. Throughout the curriculum, the student is provided with many opportunities to develop professional behavior during interactive lectures, small group discussions, group projects, laboratory sessions, laboratory practical examinations, full-time clinical internships, and interactions with peers and faculty.

We are incredibly grateful for the outpouring of support during Giving Day. ❤🐻❤

Because of your generosity, we are able to continue advancing the Physical Therapy Pro Bono Clinic—enhancing both the care we provide to our community and the hands-on learning experiences for our students.

Every donation, share, and word of encouragement made a difference. Your support directly impacts lives—helping ensure that individuals who might otherwise go without care receive the services they need, while our students grow into compassionate, skilled clinicians.

Thank you for believing in our mission and investing in the future of physical therapy. Together, we are making a lasting impact. 🐻❤

We look forward to sharing our final totals with you tomorrow—stay tuned!

Lives in the balance—and we’re here for it. ⚖️

Every step matters. Every moment counts. Our students are there—guarding, guiding, and supporting patients as they work to regain balance, confidence, and independence. 👣

This is what hands-on, patient-centered care looks like. Focused attention. Clinical precision. Real impact. 💪

In our pro bono clinic, these aren’t just exercises—they’re life-changing moments that help patients return to the activities that matter most. ❤🐻❤

We’re in the final stretch…

🎯 Help us cross the finish line and maximize our Giving Day impact! Every gift makes a difference.

Step by step. Support when it matters most. ❤🐻❤

Our students are working closely with patients to improve functional mobility.

These sessions go beyond walking. They focus on independence, fall prevention, and helping patients return to the activities that matter most in their daily lives.

In our pro bono clinic, every interaction is an opportunity for students to grow—and for patients to move forward.

Your support makes these moments possible.

🎯 Help us continue to provide meaningful care and maximize our Giving Day impact!

Behind every patient success is preparation. 📚💪

Before our students ever step into the pro bono clinic, they spend hours in the classroom refining their skills—practicing techniques, problem-solving, and building the clinical reasoning needed to provide exceptional care. ❤🐻❤

These moments may be behind the scenes, but they are where confidence is built and excellence begins. 🌟

When you support our program, you’re not just impacting the clinic—you’re investing in the training that makes high-quality, compassionate care possible.

🎯 Help us continue to prepare future clinicians and expand these learning opportunities!

We don’t just teach movement… we challenge it. 🔥

In our pro bono clinic, students create real-world, problem-solving scenarios—like stepping over obstacles while being safely guarded—to help patients improve balance, coordination, and confidence. 💪

Yes… that’s a student on the floor. And yes… this is what it takes to prepare patients for the unpredictability of everyday life. 🤓

This is hands-on, high-impact learning at its best—where students think critically, adapt in real time, and help patients achieve meaningful progress. ❤🐻❤

Your support makes these experiences possible. 💫

🎯 Help us continue to push boundaries and maximize our Giving Day impact!

From your support to real steps forward. ❤🐻❤

This treadmill—made possible by Giving Day—has become a powerful tool in our clinic. Here, students are working side-by-side with patients on gait training, assisting with limb advancement and helping restore safe, efficient walking. 🚶‍♂️‍➡️

It’s more than equipment. It’s progress. It’s confidence. It’s independence regained.

Every donation directly impacts moments like this—where students grow as clinicians and patients take meaningful steps toward recovery. 🌟

🎯 Help us continue to build experiences like this and maximize our Giving Day impact!
