About Us:

The purpose of the Pre-Physical Therapy Society is to inform students about the physical therapy profession, inform UTSA students of the requirements to apply to PT school, and to act as a support group for the educational and social interests of our members!

Meetings are held every other Tuesday at 7:30pm throughout the Fall and Spring semesters.  We host a variety of guest speakers that provide great informational and networking opportunities for prospective physical therapy students.  Speakers include physical therapists working across different spectrums of physical therapy who share their experiences in the field, as well as PT graduate school representatives who detail students about their admissions process, requirements, student life and what it takes to get into their respective programs.

Our organization also participates in several community volunteer events, PT school campus visits, developmental workshops, fun member social outings, campus fundraisers, and Co-ed, Men's, and Women's intramural sports.  

Becoming a member of our society offers the opportunity for students interested in physical therapy to get connected, get educated, support one another, make friends, and have fun!
