Interested in learning what it's really like to be in DPT school? Come join us for Pre-PT Alumni Night, where former UIC students, now current DPT students, will share their experiences and insights about the journey to PT school. This Q&A style event will feature a moderated panel discussion using questions submitted in advance by club members. Attendees will also have the opportunity to ask questions during a live audience Q&A at the end of the session.
