Research Colloquium

The Programs in Physical Therapy held its annual Research Colloquium on November 18th, 2021. The event returned to its in-person format for the first time since the Covid-19 pandemic began. It was hosted by our very own Dr. Jacqueline Montes and featured guest keynote speaker Erick N. Merriether, PT, DPT, PhD. Dr. Merriwether presented "Trying to Ease the Pain: A Journey Toward Better Understanding Chronic Pain." It was followed by our third-year DPT students presenting original research completed in collaboration with CUIMC faculty. Our first-year students were also in attendance to experience the presentations and get a glimpse of what will be expected from them. All of our students did an extraordinary job and were well prepared by our faculty for their presentations. Below are some photos highlighting the event.
