Experiences beyond the classroom help shape the future of patient care. 💙

Students from our Physical Therapist Assistant program recently had the opportunity to observe an adaptive training class with Kaizen Adaptive Training, gaining firsthand insight into how adaptive fitness supports rehabilitation, performance, and long-term health for individuals with disabilities.

By seeing adaptive athletes train, problem-solve, and build independence, our future clinicians gain a deeper understanding of how physical therapy connects with real-life movement and strength training. Opportunities like this broaden perspectives and reinforce the importance of innovative, patient-centered care.

Thank you to the Kaizen team for welcoming our students and sharing such a powerful learning experience! 💪♿️

Founding

South University’s history began in Savannah, Georgia in 1899 with the establishment of Draughon’s Practical Business College. Founded by Dr. John Draughon, the institution focused on teaching the fundamentals needed by successful businesses including accounting, banking, shorthand, bookkeeping and typewriting. Originally located in the Masonic Lodge building on the corner of Savannah’s Liberty and Whitaker Streets, the College was moved several times to accommodate growing enrollment before settling into the Atlantic Mutual Building.
