The Department of Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Science (PTRS) at the University of Maryland School of Medicine, is deeply committed to advancing the profession of physical therapy through high-quality research, excellence in clinical practice, and advances in curricular design and delivery.
The Emerging Leaders in PT Endowment is intended to assist students with financial support to attend professional conferences or workshops pertaining to education and professional development. Opportunities such as attending the annual APTA CSM conference or leadership development programs will be considered. This endowment allows students to graduate with the experience, dedication, and capacity to be leaders in the field.
We have set a goal of $250,000 to establish this endowment so that PT students will benefit from this fund in perpetuity. PTRS will be matching all donations up to $250,000 through June 30, 2025. Please consider a gift today as an investment in your future PT colleagues.
Current student, Sarah Bryant, SPT Class of 2025, shares her thoughts on the importance of this endowment, “Having this funding available will provide opportunities to students who could become future leaders in PT and will also showcase PTRS at the University of Maryland School of Medicine as the excellent academic institution it is”.
We appreciate your consideration and support of PT students. Together, we can make a significant impact and enrich the tradition of excellence in our program. Thank you so much for your investment in the future of PTRS!
