Turning concussion theories into a verified model is the basis of a new Northwestern study on concussive events among grade-schoolers.

In the 2012 ranking of the nation’s “Best Hospitals” published by U.S. News & World Report, both Northwestern Memorial and Northwestern Lake Forest hospitals earned recognition in Illinois and the Chicago metro area, with Northwestern Memorial ranked No. 1 in both areas and named to the prestigious honor roll of the nation’s top hospitals.

To encourage interest in the study of physical therapy, The Department of Physical Therapy and Human Movement Sciences created the Northwestern University Pre-Physical Therapy Scholars Program, an early Doctor of Physical Therapy acceptance program for high-achieving Northwestern students with a demonstrated commitment to a career in the field.
