Alabama State University’s Department of Physical Therapy now is among fewer than 10 programs offering students real-world experience in the use of a diagnostic ultrasound machine.
The machine, which is being used as a training tool for students and at the same time as part of post-surgery treatment for ASU athletes, places the University on the cutting edge of new technology in the physical therapy field.
“We currently have a clinic where we work with University athletes, and this will allow our students to become stronger clinicians and give them another tool to help in their evaluation. This will benefit the community by allowing the DPT program at ASU to host conferences and continuing education seminars, as well as consult with local hospitals, clinics and physician groups,†Magee said.
