In 2005, the University of Nebraska Medical Center Physical Therapy Alumni Chapter was established. The UNMC Physical Therapy Alumni Chapter’s mission is to foster goodwill and loyalty among graduates of the Physical Therapy Education program at UNMC, while helping to support the programs and philosophies of the Department of Physical Therapy of UNMC.
In this year alone, the PT Alumni Chapter helped support UNMC’s first year PT students with the White Coat Professional Induction Ceremony, naming the Pat and Bruce Hageman Alumni Student Award and providing the PT 3 party send off, prior to final clinicals. The Alumni Chapter also hosts a reception at the NPTA state meeting each spring and participates in the UNMC Alumni Reunion each fall.
If you have any questions or are interested in participating in the Chapter, please email alumni@unmc.edu or call 402-559-4385.
