Professional Development
In addition to the coursework, practicum and research experience, APA students are actively participating in professional organizations in the related fields. In collaboration with faculty, APA students often make professional presentations in major conferences in rehabilitation, sports medicine, and other related fields. Also, the Center hosts various workshops, conferences, and certification training classes in association with major health and fitness organizations. Recent APA graduate students have presented at American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) conferences, National Adapted Physical Education Conference (NAPEC), North American Federation for Adapted Physical Activity symposium (NAFAPA); AAHPERD meetings, International Assistive Technology and Disability conference, and Gait & Clinical Movement Analysis Society (GCMAS) conference. Listed are professional presentations performed by APA graduate students (marked *).
