October is Physical Therapy Month, and our PTA Program celebrated with PT Day! 🏃‍♀️

The afternoon was led by our Physical Therapist Assistant students, who guided visitors through activities and demonstrations on how PT supports everyday health. Dr. Uwumarogie recaps the day and shares one simple habit that can make a real difference for your health. Watch to the end for it.

🤝 Learning Together: The PT–PTA Partnership

Last week, our second-year UIC DPT students had the opportunity to connect and learn alongside Physical Therapist Assistant students from @mxcollege during an interactive educational session.

Experiences like this give our students an important opportunity to better understand the PT–PTA relationship, the distinct roles each brings to patient care, and the importance of communication and collaboration across the physical therapy profession.

Building these connections while still in the classroom helps prepare future PTs and PTAs to work together effectively as members of the rehabilitation team and ultimately provide better care for the patients and communities we serve.

A special thank you to our colleagues at @mxc_pta for hosting our students and helping create such a valuable learning experience!
