Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how first-year Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) students perceive their self-identity and social identity, revealing insights into their personal and professional growth through semistructured interviews.* -
- Seventeen second-year DPT students from three universities provided qualitative data, identifying themes of shared perceptions, the influence of sociocultural experiences, and a recognition of the need for personal change to succeed in their programs.* -
- Findings suggest that while many experiences are similar among students, older and racially minoritized students have distinct perspectives, highlighting the importance of understanding these factors to better support DPT students in their identity formation and educational journeys.*
Background: The Association of American Medical Colleges suggests an Experiences-Attributes-Metrics framework for holistic review, but there is minimal research on demographic and personal characteristic attributes and the interplay between these Attributes subcategories. Understanding how personal attributes may vary among students considered represented and those considered underrepresented in one or more categories is critical to avoid unintentionally perpetuating practices that favor represented groups. This study explored differences in six personal characteristics either consistently related to academic performance or deemed positive professional traits based on diversity characteristics (categories of underrepresentation), age, and sex.

- The study examines how physical therapists incorporate movement into their clinical reasoning and whether this aligns with educational practices that view the human body as a teacher.
- It used qualitative methods and focus groups across various practice settings to identify key themes in therapists' reasoning related to movement.
- Three main themes emerged: movement as a driver for optimizing function, the multisensory nature of movement reasoning, and the importance of communication in understanding movement.
- The research highlights the need for physical therapy education to reflect the role of movement in clinical reasoning for future practitioners.

The (cell division cycle homolog 42) gene product, Cdc42 belongs to the Rho GTPase family which plays a pivotal role in the regulation of multiple cellular functions, including cell cycle progression, motility, migration, proliferation, transcription activation, and reactive oxygen species production. The Cdc42 molecule controls various tissue-specific functional pathways underpinning organogenesis as well as developmental integration of the hematopoietic and immune systems. Heterozygous c.
