Join AAOMPT!

From the American Academy of Orthopaedic Manual Physical Therapists (AAOMPT) Student Special Interest Group (sSIG) social committee chair, Kyle Ridgeway:


Join AAOMPT
PLEASE consider joining. If you aren't sure if you will end up practicing in orthopaedics that is OK!! This is still a GREAT way to support the profession as a whole and begin to get involved. It only costs $15 a year ($60 if you also want to subscribe to the Journal of Manual and Manipulative Therapy) as a student. Doesn't matter if you are a first year, second year, or third year! Check it out HERE!


Gait Belts
The sSIG is holding a fundraiser by selling Gait Belts! These vinyl belts (easily washable) will be black and have the new and improved AAOMPT logo on them!! They are great for labs and clinicals from acute care to neuro to manual therapy (ankle, hip, etc, etc). Or, you could also just wear it as a fashionable belt. They only cost $30. Make checks payable to AAOMPT-sSIG. Please contact directly if you are interested: kyle.ridgeway@ucdenver.edu. We will figure out a way to collect money and then the gait belts will be mailed to you.


AAOMPT sSIG Blog
The student special interest group has a blog. We are trying to update content constantly. Currently, we are posting about one new post a week on various issues. Please check it out HERE! Also, if you have any ideas for blog posts please e-mail myself, sSIGAAOMPT@gmail.com, or comment directly on the blog. We would love for YOU to get involved, hear your ideas, and insights.

We are trying to make the blog a great place for students to discuss ideas related to physical therapy, orthopaedic and manual therapy, and research!! Please visit the BLOG. Check out the posts. Read, comment, critique, suggest!!

If you have any questions, comments, concerns, insights, advice, suggestions, ideas, or generally just want to chat about AAOMPT, ortho, manual therapy, physical therapy, etc. please do not hesitate to contact me. Or, look me up on facebook.


Cheers,
