The APTA Maryland SSIG is a group designed to benefit Maryland DPT and PTA students by providing a state-level resource for students to network and develop relationships that will last a lifetime. The SSIG works to promote student membership, participation, and leadership of students within APTAMD and to foster communication and collaboration of students between schools and professionals in our communities.
Mission Through networking opportunities and informational events, we will strive to create spaces to facilitate learning and build long lasting relationships with PT professionals and the community. Learn more about the SSIG Roles and Structure.
Vision To grow into a solid group of student leaders to include a representative at each DPT and PTA school in Maryland. We hope to be the source for student PT and PTAS, we hope to eventually hold one event per month (Advocacy Dinners, PT Pub Nights, PT Day of Service, community events, etc).
