Last week our 3rd year Sports Elective Students had the opportunity to learn Emergency Medical Response. They participated in skills labs including: CPR, splinting, stop the bleed, and spine boarding. They also engaged in high level patient simulations! Thank you SMEM!




Debates don't just teach content—they build confident, well-rounded clinicians.💡💪The @ucfdpt class of 2028 had a war of words at their Oxford Debate, on Friday. Eight groups of PT students debated resolutions ranging from AI in the workplace to post-professional residencies!

Congratulations to our Neurologic, Women's Health, and Sports residents for a successful 1st Annual UCF-OrlandoHealth Residency Research Symposium!👏

Calling all community partners! Please join us for the Class of 2028 Oxford Debate on Friday, July 25th 8-11am in Classroom Building 2 room 106. All licensed PT and PTA's who attend will receive 3 CEU hours. Looking forward to seeing you then!

The new dean of the College of Health Professions and Sciences, Matthew Theriot, will tell you what he’s most proud of professionally is not so much what he’s done, but how he’s collaborated with others to translate ideas into action. healthprofessions.ucf.edu/news/building-…
