Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Accessibility (IDEA) IDEA Committee

The University of Florida Department of Physical Therapy is committed to inclusion, diversity, equity, and accessibility among our faculty, staff, students and community at-large. We value teaching, learning, conducting research, and serving in communities that encourage diversity of both individuals and ideas. We commit to being inclusive of all individuals, with intentional strategies to welcome and uplift identities not historically included within our community.
