Student speakers Matthew Davis and Rachael Eubanks shared reflections on their time in the program, highlighting both the challenges and triumphs of their journey, and their path forward as new physical therapists. “Our role as physical therapists is more than just helping people and treating symptoms. It is about listening to stories, understanding struggles and empowering towards better health,” Eubanks said.

Davis echoed this sentiment, adding, "Our profession is about people and caring for them through their personal experiences with pain and injury, and guiding them through that process as they take their lives back and return to doing the things that they love. And for that job, I don’t know anyone better equipped that the DPT Class of 2024.”

The 2024 ceremony celebrated not just the accomplishments of the 25 new physical therapists, but also the legacy of a program that has made a lasting impact on healthcare for nearly two decades.
