Volunteers needed at CSM 2012



The AAOMPT student-SIG is still looking for volunteers to help pass out flyers at the AAOMPT booth in the exhibition hall. Each time slot is just 1 hour and we're asking for volunteers during the unopposed hall hours (meaning you won't miss a breakout session). This is an excellent opportunity to not only meet other students from around the country who are passionate about orthopedic physical therapy, but you will also be networking with members and fellows who are the top physical therapists in the country! Please email ssigaaompt@gmail.com if you are able to help out.
