Martha Sliwinski, PT, PhD

I began practicing physical therapy at Kessler Institute in West Orange New Jersey in 1979 where I gained many years working with individuals with neurological disorders. I was also heavily involved in clinical teaching and running the clinical education program. In 1993 I joined the Physical Therapy Program at Hunter College where I ran the clinical education program and taught several courses in the program. I joined the Columbia Physical Therapy Program in 2004 and continued in the role of clinical education while teaching in the neurological track until 2008 when I transitioned to full time teaching. I have continued teaching in several courses and serve as the Associate Director of Student Affairs since 2018. I was instrumental in initiating and conducting the programs service component since 2010. I am very active in my home state American Physical Therapy Association of New Jersey and have served and continue to serve in several leadership roles.
