In PT 713 PCM Neuro and PT 718 PCM Advanced Neuro, DPT students run a free clinic for community members with neurologic dysfunction. Learn more about this student-run, faculty supervised clinic here [1].
Student/Graduate Publications
Over the last three years, approximately seven student's case reports have been presented as posters or platforms at state, national, and international conferences. Additionally, three student cases have also been published in peer-reviewed orthopedic and geriatric physical therapy journals in the last two years.

Case Report Day
As part of a Samuel Merritt DPT graduate's culminating experience, students must prepare and present a Case Report on a patient encountered during their six-month internship. Students orally present their cases at Case Report Presentation Day following a format similar to conference platform presentations, and they also submit a written manuscript in a format suitable for publication.
