The physical therapy program at Quinnipiac fosters a close-knit community of learners who use their profession to enhance wellness in the local community through clubs, clinics and organizations that provide pro bono PT services and programs.
What started as a student capstone project in 2012 has grown into a vital community resource. Located on the North Haven Campus, the EQUIP Rehabilitation Clinic is a pro bono initiative dedicated to reducing health disparities across Connecticut.
Under the direct supervision of licensed School of Health Sciences faculty, our student-led clinic delivers high-quality physical therapy services—both in-person and via telemedicine—to underserved populations.

Some also focus on personal finance management and other post-college topics. The club additionally organizes regular social activities and provides mentoring to first-year PT students.
The Physical Therapy Club is active in fundraising and coordinates the Marquette Challenge, a grassroots fundraising effort that supports the mission of the Foundation for Physical Therapy Research. It also collaborates with local, state and national APTA organizations to promote advocacy legislative agendas.
PT Moves Me enables students in Quinnipiac’s physical therapy program to be passionate ambassadors of their discipline to the local community.

In collaboration with the Frank H. Netter MD School of Medicine, local clinical partners and area schools, members develop ongoing activities that engage students in the exploration of PT and other health care professions.
