A Day In The Life
I am now down to my final 2 months of PT school. I have 2 weeks left on this clinical, a 1 week Spring Break, and then a final 5 week wrap-up on campus. It’s been another busy month. I have been working on my licensure application. Everything that I… read more
This month, I thought I’d take some time to address a couple of questions that I’ve been asked repeatedly throughout my DPT education. The first: “What is the difference between a PTA and a PT and how do the educations differ?” Secondly, “I bet it made it a lot easier… read more
Happy April Everyone! I cannot believe graduation is just four and half short weeks away. Life has been pretty crazy this last month. Upon graduation I have decided to move to Colorado to see what life holds for me there. It is a really exciting time, as well as nervous… read more

One month closer to graduation and the end of this journey through PT school! It’s been a busy month. I’ve just completed four weeks of my final 10-week internship, where I have been given the opportunity to work independently, much as I will once I start my first paid position.… read more
Hello Everyone! This year has definitely proved to be a busy one so far and I’m sure it is no different for all of you. Almost halfway through my final rotation and time is just flying by! I have spent the better part of this month tying up loose ends… read more
Happy New Year! I have been on “vacation” for the past three weeks, and am now four short months from graduation!! Now that the holidays are over, it is time for me to start getting prepped for my next (and final) clinical rotation that will be starting on January 7.… read more
Happy February everyone! I am well into my final fieldwork in an acute care setting. Over the last four weeks I have learned so much about the medical field. That is one of the best parts of this profession, you never stop learning. This is my first experience in a… read more
