What does it mean to be a professional in health care? Professionalism demands accountability, duty, honor, integrity, respect for others, and altruism. Physical Therapists have professional organizations at the state and national level and one aspect of developing as a professional is to participate in these associations. Experiential opportunities to aid in your preparation as a health professional include:

Legislative Impact Day

One way we vocalize opportunities is through the Physical Therapy Association of Washington (PTWA). Legislative Impact Day is a great way for students to get involved and have their voices heard.

Social Action Service Learning

The goal of the required social action/service learning activities and reflections is to allow physical therapy students to begin to develop a sense of civic engagement and community responsibility through service.
