Listen to the interview on APTA's podcast.

'These Are My People'

As a physical therapy student, it can be overwhelming to familiarize yourself with all the specialties and practice settings in the profession. To provide a primer on the various career paths for PT and PTA students, APTA Magazine matched up student members with those in leadership roles in APTA's different academies and sections. At the APTA Combined Sections Meeting in February 2024, students got a chance to ask questions and get advice from section leaders.

In the coming issues, we will cover each section. In this month's edition, Matt Glassoff, SPT, then a third-year student at the University of Hartford, interviewed Renee Schroeder, PT, DPT, secretary of APTA Federal and spinal cord injury therapy supervisor in the Rehabilitation Department of the Michael E. DeBakey Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Houston, Texas.
