We’re opening up PTA Chair + Vice Chair positions and would LOVE to see new faces step into leadership 🫶

You don’t have to be perfect—you just have to start.

We can’t stop thinking about how incredible our donors (and supporters) showed up for our students 🤍

A huge thank you to NPTE Final Frontier ( ), Scorebuilders ( ), and Complete Concussions ( ) for providing some truly impactful prizes! From a full live NPTE prep course with extended access, to comprehensive study bundles and lifetime learning tools, to a full concussion rehab certification course. These are the kinds of resources that truly elevate both exam prep and clinical confidence.
We also want to highlight that, thanks to our sponsorship contributions, one attendee walked away with WH-1000XM6 Best Wireless Noise Canceling Headphones 🎧
Congratulations to our winners:
Alex Chavez, SPT (Final Frontier)
Jocelyn Contreras, SPT (Complete Concussions)
Karl Bueno, SPT (Scorebuilders)
Marianne Malbas, SPT (Headphones)

We’re so grateful to be able to connect our students with opportunities and resources like these. This is what investing in the future of our profession looks like!

This past weekend we hosted the APTA Nevada SSIG Student Conclave, and we are still feeling incredibly proud and grateful for how successful the event was.

Our goal was to create a space where PT and PTA students could learn from experienced clinicians, explore different specialties, and begin building professional connections within the Nevada PT community.

A huge thank you to our SSIG leadership team, committees, and volunteers who worked hard to bring this event to life. We’re also incredibly grateful for the support of our sponsors Dignity Health, , , , and . We would also like to thank our donors(, , , , ) exhibitors (Sunrise Hospital, , , ) speakers, and the for collaborating with us.

Most importantly, we hope the students who attended left feeling inspired, supported, and excited about their future in the profession. The future of PT in Nevada is bright!
