Among the attendees at the annual conference was Kaylee Pobocik, a member of the Class of 2019 who was nominated for the director of membership on the APTA's National Student Board of Directors.
This annual conference, held Oct. 11-13 in Providence, Rhode Island, brings together PT and PTA students across the United States to provide student focused educational sessions, social activities, student board elections and community service opportunities.
“My main goal is to find the student’s individual ‘why’ – why they are a member and what value they have in membership,” Pobocik said. “I want to showcase other student’s ‘whys.’”
Being a member of the American Physical Therapy Association is important for professional leadership, mentorship, and advocacy. Elon’s representation at National Student Conclave and in the Board of Directors demonstrates the student’s willingness to be active members of their professions, strong advocates for their patients and colleagues, and engaged learners in the changing healthcare environment.
