The ComMUnity Physical Therapy Clinic is a student-operated physical therapy initiative housed within the Marquette Physical Therapy Clinic and overseen by the faculty of the Department of Physical Therapy at ÌÇÐÄ´«Ã½. We provide physical therapy services to medically uninsured and underinsured individuals of Milwaukee by incorporating licensed physical therapists and physical therapy students in a collaborative educational model. These collaborations enable FREE physical therapy services to individuals in need while facilitating student development and hands-on experience; therefore, each patient will be seen by a treatment team consisting of a maximum of two doctor of physical therapy students and a licensed physical therapist.
