Physical Therapy Conducts Service Trip to Guatemala

The Department of Physical Therapy completed a service trip to Guatemala, Central America, in January 2018. Dr. Peter Leininger and 13 DPT students spent the week traveling to numerous towns to provide physical therapy services to individuals who would otherwise not have the opportunity for care. The trip was an enlightening, rewarding and extremely enjoyable experience. The University of Scranton DPT students provided excellent physical therapy care and support for patients from infant to 93 years of age. There was also some time set aside to experience the culture and beauty of Guatemala. We are extremely proud of our students each year on these trips, serving as men and women for others.
