Why I am a Physical Therapist, and Why I Teach Physical Therapy
What I love most about the PT profession are the people with whom I come into contact. When I was in private practice, this group included patients as well as other PT's and health care professionals. Now that I am teaching, it is the students, PT faculty, and people I work with in the School of Medicine and Public Health that make my job so enjoyable.
