Dr. Susan Effgen, physical therapy faculty member at the University of Kentucky College of Health Sciences, was honored as the recipient of the Catherine Worthingham Fellowship Award and as the recipient and namesake of the Susan Effgen Advocacy Award.  The American Physical Therapy Association will present both awards.

Effgen’s first honor, the Catherine Worthingham Fellowship, was established to identify physical therapists who make an impact on the science, education and practice of the profession of physical therapy. The Award is the highest distinction given by the APTA.

Her next award, the Susan Effgen Advocacy Award, was created by the APTA Section on Pediatrics this year.  The award’s purpose is to honor a member who has made an outstanding contribution to pediatric physical therapy. Effgen was the first recipient of this award and it was named after her because of her efforts on the part of children with disabilities and advancing the practice of physical therapy.
