Advocates for Public Health and Policy
Some South University PT program alumni have become advocates for public health and policy, working to improve access to physical therapy services and promote the profession at a broader level. These alumni have been involved in legislative efforts, public awareness campaigns, and community outreach initiatives, advocating for the rights of patients and the importance of physical therapy in the healthcare system. Their stories inspire students to become advocates for their profession and make a difference in the lives of individuals and communities.
Collaborative Opportunities with Other Healthcare Professions
Physical therapists often work collaboratively with other healthcare professionals to provide comprehensive care to patients. South University recognizes the importance of interprofessional collaboration and provides opportunities for students to engage with various healthcare disciplines.
Interdisciplinary Projects and Case Studies
South University’s PT program incorporates interdisciplinary projects and case studies into its curriculum to foster collaboration and communication among different healthcare professionals. These projects simulate real-world scenarios where students from different disciplines work together to develop comprehensive treatment plans. By working alongside students from nursing, occupational therapy, and other healthcare disciplines, PT students learn to appreciate the value of a multidisciplinary approach and develop skills in effective teamwork and communication.
