Rehabilitation Research Seminars
This seminar is designed to foster interdisciplinary discussions and collaborations and will be attended by all trainees and faculty mentors. The seminars are held in the HPNP Building. The lecture series include both local and external experts in rehabilitation related research, with a primary emphasis on neuromuscular plasticity. This forum provides the students an opportunity to get familiar with research activities at the University of Florida and Rehabilitation Centers and Institutes across the country. Following the presentations, students, postdoctoral fellows and faculty are given an opportunity to meet with the speakers and discuss research ideas and projects. -
Clinical Service
UF PT and Shands Rehab Services collaborate to present a clinical topic once a month on topics of interest to clinicians, faculty, and entry-level students. These inservices provide an opportunity for exchange of information and ideas relative to clinical practice. -
Neuromuscular Plasticity Noons
These weekly seminars are organized in the summer and consist entirely of student presentations. Each week two senior Ph.D. students provide a scientific presentation on their research topic. During these seminars ample time is provided for discussion, and the diverse audience of students and faculty typically provide valuable feedback to the students. The presentations primarily serve to hone the speaking skills of trainees, and to provide further interaction among the students and training faculty. -
Continuing Education
UF PT sponsors continuing education courses to facilitate the mission of our department. Student led initiatives in this area raise funds for community service projects such as the annual Nicaragua Trip.
