Marymount University\u0092s physical therapy program was among the top nine in the country to be recognized for its fundraising efforts on behalf of a national foundation.\u00a0 The award was presented at a recent conference in Nashville, Tennessee.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u0093I feel honored to be part of that elite group of students who have committed their time and energy to help our profession progress,\u0094 said Michelle Bomyea, president of Marymount\u0092s class of third-year doctor of physical therapy students.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0MU earned the Award of Excellence, given to schools that donate $10,000 or more to the Foundation for Physical Therapy. The honor was bestowed at the foundation\u0092s annual gala, held during the American Physical Therapy Association\u0092s Conference and Exposition on June 9.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Dr. Skye Donovan<\/a>, chair of the school\u0092s Department of Physical Therapy, said $5,000 was raised during the school\u0092s second annual 5K race in April. That amount was matched by an adjunct professor, Dr. Steven Tepper.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u0093We raise this money because we\u0092re really trying to establish a sense of professional responsibility within our student body, and we want to give back to the profession,\u0094 Donovan added.\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Students from 150 schools raised a record $354,320 for the 2015-2016 Pittsburgh-Marquette Challenge to support physical therapy research and provide professional scholarships.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Marymount offers a three-year graduate program that leads to a doctor of physical therapy degree. The employment rate for all Marymount DPT graduates is 100 percent within six months of passing the licensure exam. For more information, go to marymount.edu<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n
