School of Health Sciences Advisory Board member honored with national Private Practice Section 2012 Robert G. Dicus award

Dr. Laurence N. Benz, DPT, OCS, MBA, President/CEO of PT Development LLC, co-founder of Evidence In Motion (EIM), and operator of nearly 40 clinics in four states, was named the national winner of the Private Practice Section 2012 Robert G. Dicus award.

Benz is the youngest physical therapist to ever receive this prestigious award. He is on the Elon University School of Health Sciences Advisory Board and was the DPT graduation speaker for the class of 2010.

The honor is awarded annually to a single member of the Private Practice Section who demonstrates a tireless commitment to advance the profession through clinical excellence, education, and advocacy; and provides meaningful contributions to the American Physical Therapy Association and other industry related organizations.

Benz accepted the award this month among 1,500 of his peers at the section’s national meeting opening ceremony held in Las Vegas, Nevada.
