克里斯托弗Carcia, PhD, received his bachelor’s degree in physical therapy from Arcadia University in Glenside, 宾西法尼亚. Afterwards, he worked full-time in an outpatient orthopedic/sports medicine practice for 10 years in the Greater Hartford, 康涅狄格区域. In 1999, Carcia received his post-professional master’s degree in physical therapy with an emphasis in orthopedics from the Institute of Health Professions at 麻萨诸塞州 General Hospital in Boston, 麻萨诸塞州. In 2002, Carcia completed his PhD in Kinesiology with an emphasis in sports medicine at the University of Virginia. 博士毕业后, Carcia accepted a faculty position in the Department of Physical Therapy at Duquesne University in Pittsburgh, 宾西法尼亚. 他在迪肯的时候, 加西亚被授予终身教职, served as department chair and director of a PhD program in rehabilitation science.
Carcia teaches coursework in the areas of kinesiology and musculoskeletal physical therapy. His research focus is associated with the kinesiology and clinical biomechanics of both the upper and lower extremities. Carcia has published more than 35 papers in peer reviewed refereed journals, contributed to several book chapters and numerous national/international presentations.
尽管我是一名全职学者, Carcia has remained engaged in clinical practice on a part-time, 常年有限的基础. He feels strongly that continued clinical practice not only augments both his teaching and research but also ensures he remains contemporary in the field.
He is certified as both an orthopedic and sports specialist by the American Board of Physical Therapy Specialties (ABPTS). Carcia is excited to serve as the founding program director in physical therapy at CMU.
在不教学或从事研究项目时, Carcia can be found either spending time with his family, riding his bike or hiking in and around the Grand Valley.
