Partnership With UTMB

Our opportunities with UTMB Interns and Doctoral Candidates are designed to:

  • Meet the community's need for inclusive sports.
  • Provide an interprofessional practice experience for students.
  • Encourage PT, OT, and MD student “buddies” to work as a team with a group of assigned athletes with disabilities in playing adaptive sports, including tennis and bocce.
  • Form deeper connections and understanding through team continuity and profiles of the likes, dislikes, and capabilities of each “buddy” and athlete.
  • Develop adaptive equipment to improve athlete engagement, which is fabricated by students and faculty.
