The Lynda D. Woodruff Lecture on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in Physical Therapy
This annual lecture, in partnership with the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA), The American Academy of Physical Therapy (AAPT), the National Association of Black Physical Therapists (NABPT), and the University of Delaware will be held annually on Juneteenth in honor of Dr. Lynda D. Woodruff, a co-founder of PTLI and a pioneer in diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in physical therapy education and practice. Our intent is to ensure that her legacy lives on in a format that ignites action, innovations, and solutions on issues related to DEI and social justice. Importantly, we hope to create a platform to address systemic barriers to opportunity and access for underrepresented minorities (URMs) in our profession.
