Today's feature 🎓: Maddie James, MCN, RDN, LD
Program 📚: Master of Clinical Nutrition - Coordinated Program

"My career aspiration is to work in functional and integrative medicine, helping individuals who have struggled to find effective, compassionate, and individualized care within the traditional healthcare model. After navigating my own complex health challenges, I know firsthand how transformative it can be when someone finally feels seen, heard, and supported in identifying the root cause of their symptoms. I hope to bring that experience to others by providing evidence-based, whole-person nutrition care that improves quality of life and long-term health outcomes. I am also passionate about advancing the visibility and acceptance of functional medicine as a credible, science-driven approach that has a vital place in today’s healthcare landscape."

Celebrating our exceptional to kick off the 2025 Commencement Week!

Today's feature 🎓: Jan Karel Petric, PhD, CPO, LPO
Program 📚: Doctor of Philosophy in Applied Clinical Research

"I’m excited to be continuing my journey right here at the UT Southwestern School of Health Professions where it all began for me, now as an Assistant Professor in the Prosthetics & Orthotics Department! After completing my clinical training, residency, and PhD here, it feels special to come full circle and give back to the same program that shaped my career. I get to blend things I love - treating patients, teaching future clinicians, and leading research that explores how different prosthetic and orthotic devices affect the way people move and feel. I’m particularly passionate about studying biomechanical and physiological responses to different device prescriptions and componentry selection, with the aim of optimizing function, comfort, and long-term health for individuals who rely on these technologies."
