START PLANNING: Marilyn Mount Case Report Night has been getting larger every year since we began in 2013 We will be looking for platform and poster submissions of research or case reports done by therapists and students in the area
STUDENTS! Each year we recognize exemplary students in the district with student scholarships Other than being an exceptional student who goes above and beyond in school and in the community, you must be an APTA/OPTA member and attend at least one northeast district membership meeting Start planning now on how you are going to earn one of these scholarships! Nominations will open in the fall!
THANK YOU so much to all of our sponsors in 2016, without sponsors, we could not hold our wonderful events, provide all of the CEUs, or award our students with scholarships
Cleveland Clinic Rehabilitation and Sports Therapy, French Creek Medical, Leimkeuhler Inc , Patterson Medical, and South University...we appreciate your dedication to local therapists and students!
