I love that I get to help people through their injuries and optimize their outcomes with managements support. I like the 1 therapist, to 1 patient ratio, with the freedom to see patients longer or shorter as needed.

I like the concept of using conservative management in healthcare to help people get better. Physical Therapists can facilitate the body to heal itself, and that is fascinating to me.

Patience and a lifelong learner. PTs can be in so many different settings that you can have one without the other, but itโs best to have both traits.

The Christian principles of love, care, and generosity helped me feel comfortable at this beautiful campus. The professors guided us through the hands-on learning experience to grow our knowledge, hearts, home & community.

I am so grateful for the grueling hours we spent in the anatomy cadaver labs. We were fortunate to learn from the donated cadavers. After 4 hours of dissections per day, we spent countless hours in the lab room absorbing all the fascinating secrets of the human body.

I learned to be open to learning new content that didnโt initially seem to fit my needs. I learned how to listen to my patients, use practice guidelines, review articles, and critically think through clinical and personal decisions.

The days are long, but the years are short, so enjoy PT school while youโre there. Before you know it, you will be in Anatomy lab, pro bono clinics, clinical rotations, and finally be hooded at graduation. Take the most financially responsible path now and future you will thank you.
