 District 3 Meeting Tonight
Please join us for the next District 3 meeting with Colin Rigney PT, DPT, OCS, RMSK. Colin will present an introduction to musculoskeletal ultrasound imaging and its uses in the medical field. He will cover imaging as it is related to physical therapy as well as historical implications that military PTs have set forth since the 1970's as physician extenders. Let's make this an interactive meeting filled with engaging questions/answers and great discussion!
Interest in this topic selection has the potential to generate a series of lectures by Colin as there is much to learn regarding the field of imaging and how it relates to practicing PTs/PTAs/OTs.
Where: A.T. Still University, Saguaro A on the 1st floor of the main building (light dinner and beverages will be provided, please RSVP to lieslb_1029@yahoo.com)
When: Tuesday, May 8 from 6:30-8:30pm
