The first years have had a lot of fun in Clinical Foundations lab the last few weeks! They have learned a lot! Just to name a few things they have learned: ascend/descend curbs with a wheelchair, car transfers, wheelchair measurement, assistive device prescription, and gait training! 🩼 #ucadpt by @ucadpt

Congratulations to Dr. James Fletcher on his decision to retire from UCA as of May 2027, marking his 31st year as a faculty member in the Department of Physical Therapy. As educator, researcher, clinician, mentor, advisor, colleague and friend, Dr. Fletcher has positively influenced and impacted his students, the curriculum, the PT profession, as well as his colleagues, and the broader university community. After years of teaching excellence, research, and extensive university service, Dr. Fletcher is often looked to as the wisdom in the room and will be missed greatly. We wish him the very best as he makes plans for his life after retirement. #UCADPT #choosePT #ucabears by @ucadpt

🚀 From Conference to Classroom—in ONE DAY!

At the UCA Doctor of Physical Therapy program, professional development doesn’t stay at the conference. We bring it straight back to our students!

After attending the Optimize Conference, our faculty were already putting new ideas into action—implementing new assessment components into coursework within just one day. 🙌

This is what innovation in education looks like:
📚 Learn something new.
💡 Collaborate and refine the idea.
🔬 Put it into practice.
🎓 Give our students an even better learning experience.

Our commitment is to continually evolve how we teach so our students are learning the most current, meaningful, and clinically relevant approaches to physical therapy practice.
