Duke in touch

Connecting Duke Physical Therapy alumni, students, faculty, clinicians, and friends | Summer 2018

Duke PT’s new home is rising quickly!

“This new building represents a historic moment for our Doctor of Physical Therapy Division.

By creating a campus presence, our PT students will strengthen important connections to clinical services and to campus life.”

Mary E. Klotman, MD, dean, Duke University School of Medicine

uke Physical Therapy has come a long way since our first home in the basement of Duke Hospital. On March 27, 2018, we broke ground on a 102,000-square foot building that will house Duke’s Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) program, as well as the portions of the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, School of Nursing, and Interprofessional Education and Care. The five-story building on Trent Drive will include a large, state-of-the-art lab and a classroom that emphasizes team-based learning.

Construction is scheduled to be completed in the summer of 2019 with a move-in date for the fall semester of 2019.

See live construction updates and time-lapse videos here.

The move to our new home will cap off a year-long celebration of the Duke Physical Therapy Program’s 75th anniversary. The celebration begins in September 2018 with a weekend of parties, continuing education, an evening gala, and a book detailing the program’s history.

See page 3 for more on the 75th anniversary celebration.

75th Anniversary Weekend ~

ust weeks from the publication of this issue, hundreds of members of the Duke Physical Therapy family will gather in Durham to celebrate the 75th anniversary of this groundbreaking program.

Alumni, students, former and current faculty and staff, Duke University and Health System leaders, and friends will come together to recognize our program’s achievements, and to begin a new chapter as leaders in shaping the future of health care and the physical therapy profession. I hope you are planning to join us for a weekend of social events, continuing education, a panel discussion on the future of health care and physical therapy, a book release, and an Anniversary Gala (with several alumni speakers!).

Our new home will finally be commensurate with the stellar students we’ve matriculated for the last 74 years. And, unique programs such as the Faculty Residency Program (see Dr. Chad Cook’s letter) and our new curriculum will have the resources they need to continue to excel. In this way, Duke can create value like no other PT education program in the country, so we can continue to prepare our graduates to become top-notch practitioners, educators, and leaders of our profession.

This is a pivotal time for Duke Physical Therapy: a time to acknowledge the giants upon whose shoulders we stand, and to build upon the foundation they’ve laid as we forge a new trail into the future. I look forward to celebrating with you, in September and throughout the year!

Michel D. Landry, BScPT, PhD Professor & Division Chief Doctor of Physical Therapy Program

ith hundreds of accredited DPT and PTA programs in the United States, it is well known that there is a significant shortage in trained faculty. Further, the majority of faculty in DPT programs will retire in the next 10 years, leaving a potential shortfall of hundreds of qualified faculty members for academia.

To address this shortfall, five years ago, Dr. Carol Casper Figuers ’81 and Dr. Kyle Covington ’04 created the first accredited faculty residency in the United States at Duke. This novel program remains the ONLY accredited faculty residency in the country.

The Duke DPT Faculty Residency prepares future faculty leaders for DPT education programs. Our residents are rigorously trained in educational theory, methodology, academic service, and governance, and are embedded in all aspects of our didactic and clinical education programs, including classroom and laboratory teaching, DPT and university committees, education grand rounds, student advising and service, and research and scholarship.

As a result, faculty residents gain knowledge at an exponential rate,

3

allowing them to acquire years’ worth of learning within the two dedicated years of the program.

Past graduates of our nationally respected program include Dr. Paul Salamh ’07, assistant professor at the University of Indianapolis, and Dr. Marcus Roll ’11, medical instructor at Duke University. Both have skillsets beyond their years. Current residents Lindsay Ballengee ’11, Kayla Holz Black ’14 , and Bridget Ripa ’13 play an integral role in the current Duke DPT curriculum and will, like their predecessors, be well-prepared for faculty leadership upon completion of the program.

This groundbreaking program is one more way Duke DPT is shaping the future of our profession.

Emerging Leader Alumni Award

Matt Ithurburn ’12

Assistant Professor, University of Alabama at Birmingham After completing his doctoral degree in health and rehabilitation sciences at Ohio State, Dr. Matt Ithurburn joined the physical therapy faculty at UAB in August 2017. In both graduate school and his first faculty position, Dr. Ithurburn’s initiative, inquisitive nature, and critical thinking skills have set him apart – as have dozens of scientific presentations and peer-reviewed journal publications at such an early stage of his career.

Dr. Ithurburn is dedicated to seeing findings from the laboratory translate into improved clinical care for patients. He is particularly passionate about discovering new techniques to deliver post-surgical rehabilitation care along with long-term movement analysis to prevent secondary injury occurrence, particularly following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. A wealth of state- and national-level awards is testament to the impact he has already made in this field – and will undoubtedly continue in the years to come. *Note: At CSM, Dr. Ithurburn also was elected treasurer of the Biomechanics Special Interest Group of the APTA Section on Research.

Student News NCPTA Student Conclave

by Katie Scaff ’18 This spring, Duke DPT was home to the very first NC Student Conclave hosted by the NCPTA Student Special Interest Group. All PT programs in North Carolina were represented, with over 300 DPT and PTA students in attendance – making this the largest gathering of DPT/PTA students to date. Students gained exposure to leadership, mentorship, and career development through a series of Ignite speeches by North Carolina clinicians and a networking event created just for students, by students. Attendees had the opportunity to tailor their first-ever Student Conclave experience to their professional interests by mingling with clinicians in a variety of specialty areas of practice, mirror-

ing APTA Sections such as Pediatrics, Neuro, Travel, Sports, etc. during networking sessions.

To wrap up the successful event, the NCPTA SSIG presented a crowd-favorite: The Generalist vs.

Specialist Oxford Debate, in which students were able to further explore the topic through an informal yet informational platform. Duke DPT faculty members Dr. Corey Simon and Dr. Jeff Hoder sat on opposing sides of the debate, fostering great discussion and thought-provoking perspectives in support of practicing as a generalist or specialist. The NC Student Conclave is expected to grow in attendance, and Duke students look forward to participation in years to come!

In February 2018, the American Journal of Sports Science published Laterality preferences in athletes: Insights from a database of 1770 male athletes,

a paper authored by Matt DeLang ’18 and Ben Ramger ’19.

This was the second annual House of Dukelegates, an event started by Dr. Kyle Covington ’04 .

Each team drafted a “Main Motion,” lobbied for support on social media, and debated and voted on each bill at the House of Dukelegates.

The issues ranged from expanding physical therapy access and creating an Emergency Care PT Section, to increasing APTA membership and ordering diagnostic imaging, among other topics. Each team was advised by a mentor who was a licensed PT and had experience with the APTA House of Delegates. The mentors were great examples and provided helpful tips during the event. My team focused our motion on lobbying for the passage of the Physical Therapy Licensure Compact in Virginia, which ended up passing without debate!

The House of Dukelegates was fast-paced, fun, and sometimes heated. It was a great learning experience. I learned what it takes to create change in our profession, how important word choice is, and how sometimes, passing a motion requires excellent preparation, personal accounts, and passion. After this experience, I am confident that the Class of 2019 is wellprepared to advocate for our patients and profession.

Four members of the Class of 2019 received a VA Scholarship this year: Kathleen Daly, Sam Engebose, Zach Meline, and Katie Scaff. Additionally, two members of the

Class of 2020 also received a VA Scholarship: Melissa Minniti and Courtney Perkins.
