MCPTAA

President’s Letter

Dear Mayo Clinic Physical Therapy Alumni,

It is an honor to serve as President of the Mayo Clinic Physical Therapy Alumni Association (MCPTAA). I remain deeply grateful for the leadership of those who came before me, whose dedication helped establish a strong foundation for our continued growth.

On behalf of the Board, thank you for your ongoing support and engagement. Our alumni community plays a vital role in fostering meaningful connections across generations of physical therapists while supporting the development of our current students. Through mentorship, collaboration, and shared experiences, we continue to strengthen both our program and our profession.

We are excited about the future of MCPTAA. Recent enhancements to our program space on the Siebens Building 10th and 11th floors have created a modern, state-of-the-art learning environment that reflects the excellence of Mayo Clinic Physical Therapy education. These improvements also present new opportunities for alumni to reconnect with the program in meaningful ways.

Looking ahead, our priorities include re-establishing an active and engaged Board of Directors and expanding opportunities for alumni involvement. We are committed to creating impactful experiences through networking, mentorship, and alumni events that bring our community back together. In alignment with this vision, we are working to strengthen our partnership with the Mayo School of Health Sciences Alumni Association (MSHSAA), where I currently serve as Vice President, to further integrate and elevate the voice of our PT alumni community.

We invite you to stay connected, share your ideas, and consider becoming more involved—whether through mentorship, event participation, or board service. Together, we can continue to build a vibrant, supportive alumni network that advances our profession and honors the legacy of Mayo Clinic Physical Therapy.

Warm regards,
Bryce A. Beckman, PT, DPT, PhD, NCS
President, MCPTAA
