As a community of educators, clinicians, students, and professionals, we strive to advance the physical therapy profession and inspire others to live well through movement.
Our vision is to excel as a locally, nationally, and internationally recognized leader in physical therapy education, research, and civic engagement.
Our values include people, purpose, and passion.
We put people first, which is why we focus on student success and offer many options for students to learn within the community, including multiple community programs addressing the needs of underserved populations. Programs including GoBabyGo, Goodwin Exercise Group, Multiple Sclerosis Swim and Gym, and the IU student outreach clinic put our students in the heart of Indianapolis, learning their craft while putting people first.
We act with purpose. You’ll find our students and faculty advocating for the profession in the statehouse, representing PTs during professional meetings, and working diligently to improve patient care and outcomes as part of an integrated health-care team.
And, we are passionate. We care not only about elevating our profession, helping our patients, and collaborating with other health-care providers, but do so in a way that inspires our students to become empathetic and caring leaders. We are passionate about the future of our field and the people we serve.
