Gaining Experience in Physical Therapy

Although I'm only in my first clinical, I've been able to make an impact on so many lives within the community. I've been working with a Hispanic patient that I'm able to connect with thanks to my ability of speaking Spanish. Having that previous experience from the University of Mount Union has allowed me to break the language barrier so we can work without a translator and focus on his plan of care.

Choosing Mount Union's DPT Program

I chose Mount Union's DPT program for the ability to challenge students' critical thinking skills and the diverse staff. The faculty do a great job helping us understand the material, but they also go above and beyond to help us apply our knowledge to real life clinical scenarios and challenge us to become high level clinicians.
