Lace up your running shoes and meet us on campus for the Ohio State DPT 5K Run/Walk Fundraiser on Saturday, October 11, 2025! All funds raised will go towards professional development opportunities for the Class of 2027 - covering students' membership dues to the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA) as well as helping to send students to APTA’s Combined Sections Meeting in Anaheim, California February 13-15, 2026. CSM is a National Physical Therapy Conference which provides an opportunity to network with other professionals and explore new research in the field of physical therapy.
