We’re proud to share that three of our first-year DPT students—Annie, Rosie, and Hailey—were interviewed by Westminster High School’s AV Club and featured in the school’s weekly news production! 🎥✨

They talked about the importance of gross anatomy in their graduate education and shared how anatomy outreach opportunities benefit both PT students and high school learners. These experiences help deepen understanding, build connections, and spark interest in future healthcare careers.

Great job to Annie, Rosie, and Hailey for representing our program so well! 🙌💙

We’re gathering broad input to help shape the SRHS Strategic Plan, which will guide our school for the next five years—and we want to hear from you.

We are inviting students, alumni, clinical partners, employers, advisory board members, and the professional organizations who collaborate with SRHS to complete our Stakeholder Feedback Survey. Your perspectives are essential as we work to ensure that all voices inform the future direction of our programs.

The survey is completely anonymous, and you may select whichever stakeholder category best reflects your connection to SRHS.

Our OT2 students in the Creighton–Regis OTD Pathway had a wonderful day providing fine- and gross-motor assessments, along with visual screenings, to preschoolers at the Rick’s Center for Gifted Children. 💙

This is the second year of our partnership, and we were thrilled to support more than 29 children through this meaningful hands-on experience.

Creighton is also exploring new interprofessional opportunities with Regis DPT students and Rockhurst–Regis SLP students to continue strengthening collaboration and community impact. Exciting things ahead! ✨

🇺🇸 Honoring Our Veterans 🇺🇸

Today, on Veterans Day, we pause to honor and thank all who have served — and especially our these amazing SRHS Class of 2027 students who are veterans of the military. We have veterans represented in every class of the DPT program in SRHS. 💙❤️

Your service, sacrifice, and leadership inspire us every day. Thank you for bringing the same dedication and courage you showed in uniform to our classrooms and community.

Stop by the table outside our department on the 4th Floor of Peter Claver Hall to be inspired by the veterans represented at our table display.

We are proud to celebrate you today and always.

Are you a busy clinician that needs CEUs, 1.25 CEUs to be exact? Perhaps you're a student currently in a program that has limited access to cadavers to study? Would you simply like a refresher on structures via actual human bodies and want to support the APTA whilst doing so? You're in luck, because Regis University is hosting their annual Cadaver Day for people exactly like you!

On Cadaver Day, the physical therapy students at Regis University show all of their hard work of the semester to clinicians and students in the community. For 75 minutes, you can explore several prosected cadavers and hear an explanation of the process and a breakdown of the structures by Regis' own faculty and students in the lab with you.

Cadaver Day is Saturday, October 25th, starting at either 8am or 9:30am (timeslots can be added based upon demand). It will be held in Regis University Cadaver Lab; Peter Claver Hall room 010 — park in parking in Lot 4 for easy parking (day ticket parking required). The tickets are $25 for clinicians and $20 for students.

If you would like to purchase tickets, please follow this link to select timeslots.
