“The small class sizes, the open-door policy of all of the professors, and most importantly the pro bono clinics on campus set me up for success. My hands-on experience set me apart from other new graduates and allowed me the opportunity to become a traveling physical therapist, exploring the country and working contract jobs for a year. There is nothing that beats that! Nazareth DPT professors shaped the person and professional I am today and so impacted my life that I have decided to come back to my alma mater to help in our pro bono clinics to continue to set up the Nazareth DPT students for success.”
