University of the Cumberlands Doctor of Physical Therapy Program

We would like to thank the Southeast Kentucky Regional HOSA group for the invitation to join them today and to share information about the University of the Cumberlands, the field of physical therapy, and our Doctor of Physical Therapy Program with HOSA students.

It was a pleasure meeting so many bright and motivated future healthcare professionals who are passionate about helping others and exploring careers in physical therapy. We truly enjoyed the opportunity to connect and share how Cumberlands can help students achieve their goals in healthcare.

We also want to wish all of the HOSA competitors the best of luck at the Kentucky State Competition this coming March!

We would like to thank the Biomed and Health Science students from Whitley County High School for spending time on campus with the University of the Cumberlands Doctor of Physical Therapy Program!

We truly enjoyed the interactive activities and the opportunity to share more about the exciting world of physical therapy. Your curiosity, enthusiasm, and teamwork made the visit a great experience for everyone involved.

We look forward to seeing you again in the future, hopefully as fellow Patriots!

We would like to extend a sincere thank you to Transylvania University for the invitation to participate in their Health Professions Fair this evening!

We were honored to be there alongside approximately 30 other graduate healthcare programs and had the opportunity to connect with many enthusiastic students in their junior and senior years of undergraduate study who are pursuing a career in physical therapy.

These students were especially excited to learn that they can visit the University of the Cumberlands and take a campus tour during one of our on-campus lab immersions. It’s always a pleasure to meet future healthcare professionals and share more about the opportunities available through the University of the Cumberlands Doctor of Physical Therapy Program.
