Member Spotlight - Leanna Blanchard!

How long have you been a member? 9 years

What kinds of roles have you had in AAOMPT? I have been a member of the Research Committee and the Education Committee. I’ve served as a cohost for the AAOMPT Podcast, and presented posters, a platform, and breakout sessions at the annual conference.

What value does AAOMPT bring to your professional and personal life- what brings you back year after year? AAOMPT provides a strong network of like-minded, driven individuals that are dedicated to the advancement of OMPT. As I transitioned from full-time clinical work to academia, I have found support and resources that keep me engaged and allow me to support my students in becoming excellent clinicians. My fellowship training strengthened me as a clinician, educator, scholar, and leader, giving me the confidence to pursue my current role, and to continue my growth as a lifelong learner.

Do you have any exciting professional projects you’d like to share with your AAOMPT colleagues? I joined the DPT program at North Central College in 2022 when it was still a developing program, and have built the orthopaedic curriculum from the ground up. Now that we have achieved accreditation, I am excited to continue refining the musculoskeletal curriculum and getting my students excited about what AAOMPT has to offer!
