One of our graduates (2015) and current associated faculty member, Gail Bachman, PT, DPT, earned the “Emerging Leader” award from the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA). Awardees have made exceptional overall accomplishments and contributions to the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA), the component, and the physical therapy profession to advance APTA’s vision.

The award ceremony was held at the Kennedy Center in Washington, DC on Sept 12th and started with the Mary McMillan Lecture by Colleen Kigin and then a recognition of 2020 and 2021 award recipients.

Dr. Bachman states, “I was honestly surprised but very grateful to receive this award. It was a true honor to be recognized by my colleagues and mentors.”
Congratulations, Dr. Bachman!
