<p dir="auto">Hello everyone!</p>
<p dir="auto">I hope everyone is settling into the semester smoothly! I wanted to take some time to encourage you to consider joining the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA) if you haven’t already. I know finances can be a barrier during our time here at Campbell, but, as DPT students, we have the opportunity to join for only $90 per year. If you decide to continue your membership following graduation, you'll receive discounted annual membership prices on national dues and participating chapter and sections dues.</p>
<p>1st year post graduation: 50% discount</p>
<p>2nd year post graduation: 40% discount</p>
<p>3rd year post graduation: 30% discount</p>
<p dir="auto">4th year post graduation: 20% discount</p>
<p dir="auto">For reference, an annual APTA membership without discount is $455 in North Carolina ($295 national dues $150 state chapter). </p>
<p>Why should you join?</p>
<ul dir="auto"><li>Access to Resources: Get full access to APTA’s journals, clinical guidelines, and research tools to help you succeed in school and beyond.</li><li>Networking Opportunities: Connect with PT professionals, attend conferences, and get involved in the community that’s shaping our profession.</li><li>Career Tools: Resume help, job boards, mentoring, and advocacy tools.</li></ul>
<p dir="auto">This is truly an investment in your future as a PT! </p><p dir="auto">I've included a link if you would like to take a look at all the benefits!</p>
