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 Marquette University. 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.
