Class of 2008

Hello DPT Bloggers,

It was with great honor that the faculty of the SBU Department of Physical Therapy donned their robes, hoods, and tams and sat off stage while the DPT Class of 2oo8 walked to receive both a doctoral hood and a diploma. On a beautiful day that the Lord gave us, twenty seven new physical therapists joined the profession. Twenty seven new soldiers of Christ entered the world as servant leaders to make a difference in the lives of those in need. This class will always be remembered as the first DPT class @ SBU, but more so to me, this class will be remembered as the group that went the extra mile of service. We are proud of you and wish you all the best.

Together with you in His service!

Health Care Crisis?

Hello DPT Bloggers,

With this year being a Presidential election, many issues are brought to the forefront. Health Care is one of them. One that should greatly interest you as this is your future not only for you as an individual receiving services within the system, but also for you as a professional working within the system. The banging of the legislative gavel and a stroke of the Presidential pen can directly impact your ability to both get health care and earn a living. Time to pay attention and get involved when and where you can. I came across this article today about saving the Health Care system, but wonder if we are asking the right questions or is it simply Presidential rhetoric? Here is the more information forwarded by each candidate for President on how they would fix the system and impact your ability to earn a living: Hillary Clinton (D), Barack Obama (D), John McCain (R). Do you know what they stand for?

Together with you in His service,
