Grateful to be named one of the 317 Catherine Worthingham Fellows of the American Physical Therapy Association. Patients, participants, colleagues, friends, collaborators, and people with whom I disagree have pushed me for years to best help others in need. I owe this to them.

I teach my @PacificDPTweet students how to create policy advocacy briefs in my physical therapy management of population health class, and they are just so good. Couldn't be prouder of this group, their passion, and their skill. @UOPacificSHS

On Friday, @NursingUop and @PacificDPTweet students learned the use of gait belts, Hoyer lifts, high-fidelity simulators & other hands-on activities. This collaborative experience boosted their clinical & teamwork skills in healthcare. #universityofthepacific #pacificproud

#pacificproud of Dr. Preeti Oza from @pacificdptweet and @UOPacificSHS for being selected for this distinction. We’re looking forward to her work on fostering motivation and self-direction in learning and appreciate her commitment to developing our students as life-long learners.

Today at the @UOPacific Summer High School Institute, students learned about Physical Therapy thanks to @PacificDPTweet. Now in its third year, this program brings high school students to campus for two weeks to experience the academic and social aspects of a Pacific education.

Congratulations Dr. Davenport!
LinkedIn saw it first, but I’m proud to announce that, as of yesterday, I’ve finished a PhD (Publication) at @portsmouthuni @UoPSportScience. It was a winding and unorthodox route to develop content expertise and demonstrate the relevant scholarly skills, but worth every second.

Let's sit next to our patients, not in front of them. @sunsopeningband tells you what you need to know to treat patients with PEM and Long Covid on this episode of #IntheEDNow.

What a thorough delight to see my former @pacificdptweet student and owner of the only physical therapy clinic on the Hawaiian island of Moloka’i, Dr. Genevieve Correa, on this cover photo. She’s doing some wonderful work in culturally appropriate community based prevention.
