Congratulations to MUPT Class of 18’ Paige Biles, DPT and Jamey Webb, DPT for acceptance into the University of Missouri’s Neurological Physical Therapy Residency Program!! They will begin their year-long post professional residency in July 2021 through a partnership between the School of Health Professions Department of Physical Therapy and MU Healthcare’s Mizzou Therapy Services.

"The School of Health Professions really sealed the deal for me. The people, programs, and experiences here are second to none." Mizzou PT alumna Abbey Twehous, a pediatric physical therapist, reflects on her time on campus, how it prepared her to care for kids through every step of their therapy, and her advice on carving your own path at SHP.

APTA-Missouri Outstanding Student Award goes to Jeff Adams. Quotes from one of the nomination letters: I consider this student a rare find, one that embodies key qualities for successa keen intellect, an inquisitive nature, an exceptional work ethic, and the capacity to engage effortlessly with those around him. Jeff has passionately served his community, demonstrating a strong commitment to service across the lifespan. He has worked with children experiencing limb loss... and other disabilities, developed exercise programs for older adults at local aging-in-place facilities, assisted local food banks and Meals on Wheels programs to feed those in need, volunteered for the Special Olympics, and mentored children in our Adapted Gymnastics program. I believe Jeff Adams is one of our department and university’s great assets. He is not only an outstanding scholar and physical therapist, but most importantly, an exceptional person. Fellow classmate Christine Williams was also nominated and incredibly deserving of distinction as well
