ERIC BROMEISL Alexa Posny Scholarship

Eric is completing his first year as a Doctor of Physical Therapy student. "The Posny scholar opportunity was a great experience for me to grow between graduating from undergrad and starting grad school. The experience not only helped me grow my skills in advocacy but also helped jumpstart my career as a physical therapy student and helped me grow as an individual to take on different challenges outside of my comfort zone. The opportunity exposed me to all the different things I can do while practicing as a PT. One is working with athletes and potentially doing a sports physical therapy residency upon graduation. Outside of school, I enjoy watching football, working out, and just about anything social."

About the Award The Alexa Posny Scholarship provides a PT or Pre-PT student with an internship at the American Physical Therapy Association national headquarters in Washington D.C. and continues advocacy efforts at the local level with APTA-Wisconsin. Recipients learn the important role the American Physical Therapy Association plays in advancing physical therapy practice, and advocate on behalf of the profession and patients in rural Wisconsin with our state and national political leaders.
