California Student Special Interest Group

Official page of the California Student Special Interest Group. We are a California Physical Therapy Association (CPTA) interest group.

The CA Student SIG is a student run organization that will provide a platform for PT and PTA students to meet, share ideas, and promote interests regarding the field of physical therapy, the CPTA, and the APTA. Our aim is to promote the participation of students in the CPTA, represent the interests of students in state government affairs, and prepare members for future leadership roles in the profession.

Pelvic PT is a growing specialty that provides essential treatment to patients with bowel, bladder, and sexual dysfunction. But who is getting left out when it comes to pelvic PT referrals, marketing, and education? Lack of representation and negative healthcare experiences can lead patients to avoid or delay care. This webinar will outline one PT’s path to creating a more inclusive pelvic PT practice and will help participants identify action items to improve inclusivity in their own practice as future clinicians.
