The Department of Physical Therapy attended the annual Combined Sections Meeting (CSM) of the American Physical Therapy Association from Feb. 21-25, 2018. The conference was extremely well attended by faculty and DPT students, with all 11 of the faculty-student research projects accepted for presentation at the highly prestigious conference. Faculty and students presented in a poster and platform format, with several of the faculty included on specialty platform panel discussions. In addition to presenting their research, the faculty and students attended many research presentations to improve their knowledge base in the area of physical therapy. Special thanks need to be given to Dr. Renee Hakim, who organized and mentored many of the presentations, and Drs. John Sanko and Tracey Collins, who ensured that the student presentations were ready to be presented at the national conference. This year’s faculty-student research groups are actively preparing for next year’s CSM conference in Washington, D.C., in February 2019.
