Physical Therapy

First-year Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) students from Elon University recently joined second-year Physical Therapist Assistant (PTA) students from Rowan Cabarrus Community College (RCCC) for an intensive, hands-on learning activity.

During the past year, students contributed 88,084 hours of service, with more than 3,200 students participating in volunteer and community engagement efforts.

The accomplishments of the students and faculty at ACSM 2026 continue a tradition of scholarly excellence within Elon’s DPT program and demonstrate the impact of collaborative research experiences on student professional development.
