Last year I was fortunate enough to have APTA's National Student Conclave hosted in my home state of Florida, which allowed me the awesome opportunity to attend as a first-year student.

I had no expectations or prior knowledge of NSC when I arrived in Miami that weekend. My initial thought was, "This is amazing, look at everyone from all the different schools!"

After the conference was over though, I quickly realized the concept of NSC is to combine our love for physical therapy with the opportunity for us to engage in a different learning environment, not to mention to take a well-deserved mini vacation.

For those of you who don't know about NSC, or if you're just on the fence about attending, let me share my enriching NSC experience with you.
