Springfield College doctor of physical therapy (DPT) student Xavier Gibson was selected as one of two finalists
in the annual physical therapy essay contest co-sponsored by the American Council of Academic Physical Therapy Consortium for the Humanities, Ethics, and Professionalism and the Journal for Humanities in Rehabilitation. Gibson’s essay — which highlights his responsibil- ities and obligations as a DPT student of color, the only student of color in his co- hort, to come to terms with addressing diversity, equity, and inclusion issues in society and inequalities in healthcare — will be published in the JHR’s fall 2021 issue.
