Why did I become a Physical Therapist?
My interest in the profession of physical therapy came from my combined interest in my high school science courses, participation in sports, and a desire to work in a healthcare field. I was drawn to the one-on-one contact a PT has with their patients and the length of time you interact with them in working toward their goals of therapy.
What do I like about CUW's PT Program?
What I like most about Concordia's PT program is the smaller class sizes and the cohesiveness of the faculty. Smaller class sizes allow us to get to know each student as an individual and therefore give them individualized attention and assistance in succeeding within the program. The faculty truly works as a team in planning and implementing the curriculum, and toward their goal of providing the best PT education for the students. |
