EQUIP (Quinnipiac University Interprofessional Practice) Rehabilitation Clinic

The EQUIP Rehabilitation Clinic is a student-run, pro bono clinic that operates on Tuesday evenings at Quinnipiac’s North Haven Campus. Our clinic offers inter-professional skilled rehabilitation to individuals in the Greater New Haven area who currently do not have access to physical and/or occupational therapy services due to lack of insurance coverage or for those clients who have exhausted their insurance benefits for a specified condition. Services are also available to those who are covered by the Connecticut Husky Plan. Quinnipiac students provide services to clients in teams led by graduate physical and occupational therapy students under the direct supervision of licensed faculty members. In addition to direct skilled rehabilitation services, we at EQUIP are committed to providing community education through various outreach projects.

Graduate Nursing Student Association

The mission of the Graduate Nursing Student Association (GNSA), Chapter of Quinnipiac University’s School of Nursing, is to support the development of a professional, scholastic, and social community in the Graduate School of Nursing through leadership development among graduate nursing students; support academic excellence, professional growth, and lifelong learning; advocate for the nursing profession at local, state, and national levels; provide mentorship, networking, and scholarly engagement opportunities; and strengthen collaboration between students, faculty, and professional organizations. 

Graduate Physical Therapy Club

The Graduate Physical Therapy Club strives to increase the community’s awareness of physical therapy as a profession as well as encourage students in the graduate PT program to further their knowledge of, and develop personal responsibility for the growth of, the profession. The club serves as a liaison between the graduate PT students, university faculty, and other graduate student organizations on campus. This helps to address student concerns and promote unity and involvement throughout Quinnipiac University’s graduate-level programs. The Graduate PT Club sponsors several events and initiatives throughout the year including speakers/presenters, community service opportunities, and a PT mentorship program. The Graduate PT Club also has a Special Interest Group (SIG) that focuses on spinal cord injuries and issues. The SIG hosts an annual Walk and Roll event with all proceeds benefitting the Connecticut chapter of the National Spinal Cord Injury Association. This organization is open to graduate students in the PT program at Quinnipiac.
