Opportunities to Help

The AZ State Board of P.T. is looking for a few good people who have the desire and a little time to help us. Our volunteer positions are available at different times of the year for people who have a love of the profession of physical therapy whether in the field itself or not. While some job assignments have special requirements, there are varieties of volunteer positions to work directly with people or those who feel they can best contribute by working behind the scenes.
