Woodbridge, N.J. (April 28, 2021) – JAG Physical Therapy, the Tri-State Area’s leading provider of outpatient orthopedic physical and occupational therapy services, today announced an expansion upon their longstanding partnership with Seton Hall University through the creation of the JAG Physical Therapy Fund for Interprofessional Health Sciences.
“The opportunity to expand our relationship with JAG Physical Therapy is an extremely rewarding one as it provides deserving students with access to funds toward their education. For 15 years, JAG Physical Therapy has acted as a clinical partner with the School of Health and Medical Sciences, providing hands-on clinical experiences for our students and future healthcare practitioners. I look forward to our continued partnership with JAG Physical Therapy in providing exemplary clinical education in Physical Therapy (PT), Occupational Therapy (OT) and Athletic Training (AT)” says Dr. Brian B. Shulman, Dean.
JAG Physical Therapy has been the Official Physical Therapy Partner of Seton Hall Athletics for many years and this partnership expands their relationship into Seton Hall’s academic strategy. Recognizing the tremendous impact financial support can have on the students of Seton Hall, JAG Physical Therapy has created a fund to support the School of Health and Medical Sciences. The JAG Physical Therapy Fund for Interprofessional Health Sciences will provide funding to SHMS graduate students entering their final year of their respective graduate program with preference to those in the PT, OT, and Athletic Training (AT) programs. This scholarship also includes opportunity to participate in interprofessional clinical experience, research, shadowing opportunities, and other enriching experiences.
“We are honored to be expanding upon our partnership with Seton Hall to encompass both athletics and academics,” says John Gallucci, Jr., JAG Physical Therapy CEO. “This fund will prove to be extremely beneficial for the students of the SHMS programs. Having gone through AT and PT school myself, I know the financial burden it takes, and I am so proud to be able to aid these students on the path to such an enriching set of careers.”
