Some of our first-year DPT students have started a Run Club to help manage the daily rigor of being a Doctor of Physical Therapy student.

We love seeing students prioritize both physical and mental health.

Long days of class and lab call for proper fueling—sometimes that means a small snack, and sometimes it means a very large one 😄

Our DPT students put in long hours balancing lectures, labs, and hands-on learning, and they know the importance of staying energized throughout the day. Just another snapshot of life in the Wingate DPT program.

Today we honor the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Dr. King’s commitment to justice, service, and equity continues to inspire us as educators, clinicians, and future healthcare professionals. As a department, we strive to carry his vision forward by fostering compassion, inclusivity, and a commitment to improving the health and well-being of all communities.

“Life’s most persistent and urgent question is, ‘What are you doing for others?’” – Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

On this day of reflection, we recommit ourselves to service, advocacy, and meaningful impact—both within and beyond the clinic and classroom.

Checking in on our second-year Doctor of Physical Therapy students as they continue to build clinical skills across the curriculum ✔️

From learning and applying modalities like electrical stimulation and cold laser, to practicing facilitation techniques and gait training for neurological and post-stroke patients, our students are actively connecting theory to hands-on patient care. It’s exciting to see their confidence and clinical reasoning continue to grow as they progress through the program.
