ODU DPT Students Attend CSM 2019
The ODU PT Club (student organization) provided funds to help 39 second and third-year students attend CSM this year. There were several first-year students who also chose to attend. Third-year students Chelsea Lindo and Lauren Hartsfield were awarded scholarships by VPTA SSIG to further finance their CSM participation. ODU hopes CSM was a career-changing event for these students by shedding light on the many ways PT clinicians, educators, researchers and students are transforming society by optimizing movement to improve the human experience.
