As physical therapists we have a social responsibility to improve the health and wellness of society on the local, national, and international levels. As such, we are expected to write, speak and act in support of ideas, actions or practices that will improve the health and well-being of others. As a student in the George Washington University Doctor of Physical Therapy Program you will have numerous opportunities to provide service to enhance the health and wellness of communities locally and globally. Reflecting on these opportunities will help you make meaning of your experiences and It is this practice that will help you frame your professional identity.
