Service Opportunities
Graduates Go Green
Started by physical therapy students in the spring of 2017, this club includes representatives from all programs at Chatham Eastside. The group works to develop and implement sustainable and environmentally sound practices at Eastside.
Out of the Darkness Walk
This walk supports the work of the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention and occurs each spring.
Holiday Food Drive
Started in 2016, this food drive is coordinated by first-year physical therapy students each fall. Non-perishable food items are gathered and donated to the Food Pantry at the East End Cooperative Ministry.
Relay for Life
Chatham physical therapy students participate each year in this event, which raises money for cancer research, for patient care programs, and for education and prevention.
Functional Movement Screen for Chatham Athletes
In conjunction with the athletic training and exercise science programs, physical therapy students work with Chatham student-athletes to analyze movement strategies that can help guide off-season and in-season strengthening, conditioning, and injury prevention.
For twenty years and counting, students in School of Health Sciences programs have been named Pittsburgh Schweitzer Fellows for projects that apply their classroom learning in real world situations that help disadvantaged citizens of our communities.
The Pittsburgh Schweitzer Fellows Program (PSFP) promotes health and environmental justice through yearlong, direct service, interdisciplinary, experiential learning projects for graduate students that address the needs of disadvantaged citizens in southwest Pennsylvania. Pittsburgh Schweitzer Fellows receive a stipend of $2,000-$3,000 for their projects and connect with other program Fellows for interdisciplinary learning and service activities.
The Schweitzer Fellows Program develops "leaders in service" by giving emerging professionals:
- an opportunity to experience working with disadvantaged populations;
- an arena for launching a project that reflects their passion;
- a chance to try out what they have learned in school;
- and a forum for interacting with future professionals from a variety of disciplines.
