Flash Action Strategy 2014
Columbia PT Students Take Action
An afternoon of pizza and advocacy
September 10, 2014
The Flash Action Strategy (FAS) is an annual student led advocacy
campaign organized by the Student Assembly Board of Directors in
conjunction with APTA to educate students on legislative issues impacting
physical therapy and promote advocacy.
This year, students used APTA's action centers from September 8-10 to
send letters asking legislators to support the role of physical therapists in
youth sports concussions by cosponsoring the Protecting Student Athletes
from Concussions Act (H.R. 3532) and the Supporting Athletes, Families,
and Educators to Protect the Lives of Athletic Youth Act (S. 2718/H.R.
5324).
