The percentage of underrepresented minority (URM) students in physical therapist education programs continues to be alarmingly low. Not only do all students benefit with a diverse student body, but increased quality of care is the ultimate result of this diversity. In light of the recent Supreme Court decision upholding the ruling to allow universities to use race-based admission decisions, the physical therapy profession must act to enhance the inclusion of URM students. In this session, the lack of diversity will be discussed and strategies for enhancement will be presented.

8am – 12pm Physical Therapists As Primary Care Practitioners Session Chair, Dr. Kurt McDonald Presenter: Dr. Robert E. DuVall, PT, DHSc, MMSc, CSCS, OCS This workshop will introduce physical therapists to the latest delivery models of practice and provide the underlying rationale for recent and pending evolutionary changes effecting physical therapists, patient access and reimbursement. Combined with physical therapists’ existing clinical knowledge and skills, advanced differential diagnostic and medical screening competencies will provide an evidenced-based risk management scheme that will ensure safe patient management as well as mechanisms to integrate contemporary evidence into clinical practice. Advanced evidence-based aspects of “best practice” necessary for acquiring the philosophy of the expanded role as a differential diagnostician and the essential marketing strategies required to promote and defend this autonomous model of care will be analyzed.
