The semester is wrapping up fast!~ A friendly reminder to complete your student ratings during this Student Ratings Week at Fresno State. Great video and inspiration from our very own Dr. Caio Sarmento!~ What went well?? What did not go well??... Your student feedback is soooo important and we really do read all the comments and suggestions and use this information in updating the courses for the next semester. Thank you for taking the time to make your voice heard. #fresnostatephysicaltherapy #fresnostate #fresnostatedpt #fresnostatedptalumni #fresnostatechhs

Congrats to Karina Angouw - Physical Therapy - Graduate Student Ambassador 2020-2021 Each year the Division of Research and Graduate Studies asks degree program coordinators to nominate one student ambassador from their program. This is a student who might lead through their character, integrity, and ability to inspire others. Karina is a compassionate leader and representative for the Physical Therapy Department. She exemplifies many attributes that represent the prog...rams mission and values such as empathy, selflessness, integrity, advocacy, and service to others. She will undoubtedly make a positive impact on the profession as she enters the healthcare workforce. Congratulations! - Jennifer Roos, DPT Graduate Program Coordinator Congratulations to all of the graduate student ambassadors for the 2020-2021 academic year!

TODAY marks 100 years of Physical Therapy!! Please make sure to head over to our Instagram stories to check out some LIVE event opportunities to join the celebration!

Fresno State DPT Interview Day is just around the corner and it looks a bit different this year, just like everything else in today's world but the tips are pretty similar. Be yourself, research the schools, be aware of current issues in the PT field, and be prepared. Zoom Interviews are a bit different than In-Person but you guys know the drill by now... ... Try as much as you can to control your environment (see if someone can watch your dog for a few hours so he's not scratching on your door), make sure your camera and audio are working properly (test, test, and retest), and make sure you have a neutral background so it's not distracting to your interviewers (temporarily remove inappropriate or bold wall decor ). Best of luck to those applicants that were invited to interview for Fall 2021 You have worked so hard to get to this point and we wish you the best of luck. #fresnostatephysicaltherapy #fresnostate #fresnostatedpt #fresnostatedptalumni #fresnostatechhs
