The APTA’s 10th Annual Student Conclave was held October 25th-27th in Birmingham, Alabama.  Physical therapy and physical therapy assistant students from around the country gathered to participate in interactive clinical sessions and workshops on resume writing, networking skills, and job search strategies.  There was also an exhibit area ripe with employers, recruiters, and freebies from around the country.  A student dance contest and talent show were held in the evenings to help the students unwind.
 
 

First year UD DPT students Kat Cunningham, Dana Jenson and Erin Rieben were among the students who enjoyed Birmingham’s southern hospitality.  They attended clinical sessions in pediatrics, aquatic therapy, and sports injuries and took full advantage of any freebies offered to them in the exhibit hall.  This conference was a great opportunity for them to meet other PT students from across the country.

The 2003 National Student Conclave will be held in Milwaukee, Wisconsin from October 24th-26th.
