Physical therapist assistant class well represented
8th July 2009
The physical therapist assistant class of 2010 on Mohave Community College’s Lake Havasu City campus was visited by physical therapist Kay Wing, seated left, chapter president of the Arizona Physical Therapy Association (AzPTA), after the class recently completed its first clinical education experience. Wing’s visit was prompted by the class’s high rate of membership in the AzPTA. She told the class that state student membership averages about 25 percent in PT and PTA programs while the MCC class membership rate is 95 percent. Wing stated, “Your faculty has been effective in role modeling the benefits of membership.” Physical therapist Rhonda Schnabl, middle row far right, director of the MCC program, was appreciative of Wing’s visit and said, “Our hope now is that the Class of 2010 can role model the benefits of membership to the Class of 2011.” The AzPTA is a component of the American Physical Therapy Association.
