As a physical therapy student, it can be overwhelming to familiarize yourself with all the specialties and practice settings in the profession. To provide a primer on the various career paths for PT and PTA students, APTA Magazine reached out to those in leadership roles in APTA's different academies and sections. At the APTA Combined Sections Meeting in February 2024, we got a chance to ask questions and get advice from section leaders.

In the coming issues, we will cover each section. In this month's edition, Grace Cioffi, PT, DPT, then a third-year DPT student at Sacred Heart University, interviewed Gillian McLean, PT, DPT, a member of the Member and Public Relations Committee of the APTA Academy of Neurologic Physical Therapy.

Listen to the interview on APTA's podcast.
