The purpose of RUSPTA is to encourage graduate students to participate in a pre-professional organization that aims to increase awareness of the profession of physical therapy, to allow students to develop and practice leadership skills, to provide service opportunities within the community, and to promote student travel for research presentation. The organization meets once per month during the academic year to discuss a variety of activities such as guest lectures, travel for research, and community outreach. If you are interested in joining, please contact the organization at spta@radford.edu.
