I would like to recognize Jed Smith as an exceptional individual as well as collegiate strength and conditioning coach. His knowledge, personality, and altruistic character led the University of Northern Iowa to new heights. I was a student-athlete at the University of Northern Iowa majoring in Exercise Science when Jed became the head strength and conditioning coach. Jed started a tradition and foundation at UNI on an academic level as well as athletic. Academically, he worked closely with the exercise science department to put more of an emphasis on strength and conditioning as a profession, which further led to both of my degrees in Exercise Science (i.e., M.A. and B.A.).…

It is with immense delight and enormous pleasure for me to highly recommend Sabrina Melendez for the USS Pittsburgh (SSN 720) Scholarship. Sabrina came to Sacred Heart University’s Doctor of Physical Therapy program (class of 2018) after graduating with departmental honors from Skidmore College in Health and Exercise Science.

As healthcare professionals, our main duties should always be to improve the quality of healthcare by providing the best possible patient-centered care and by maintaining patient’s rights of privacy, dignity, health and well-being regardless of the one’s diagnosis. In the case of Ms. Vivian Bearing, a stage 4 ovarian cancer patient under the care of Dr. Kelekian and his intern medical student Jason Posner, the above statements were awfully violated as she was deprived not only from receiving optimal patient-centered care but her rights of autonomy, consent, privacy and confidentiality was also compromised. For example, Dr. Kelekian used Ms. Bearing as a guinea pig to experiment on even in the presence of other medical interns during morning rotations without asking for her consent, both her body and sensitive information were exposed right…

I chose to apply to the UC DPT program for several different reasons. The main reason for my decision is the success that UC has had with the DPT program in the past. Before applying, I researched statistics of the UC DPT program and it’s graduates. I found it highly appealing that there has been a 100% passing rate for the last two years with students becoming employed within 1-6 months after graduation. My overall goal is to begin working as soon as possible once I have received my license.…
As Christians we are called to forgive others as God has forgiven us. God sent his only son, Jesus Christ, to pay the ultimate price for our sins. Forgiving our brothers and sisters should seem relatively easy compared to this grand sacrifice, but forgiveness is difficult, painful, and confusing. Jeanne Bishop, author of Change of Heart, finds the strength and faith inside of her to forgive the man who murdered his sister, brother-in-law, and their unborn child. The themes of justice and mercy are woven throughout Change of Heart.…
In the time I spent with Ms.Roberts I found that Occupational Therapy has many doors to it. There are many different paths that one in this field could take, which to me is very exciting. She suggested that when I do my practicum or observation hours to try it in different areas. This made me think of what path I would want to take and I feel I lean more towards kids, but would open minded about any path available to me. I also learned that everyday there is a new challenge.…

Do physical therapists diagnose? I remember being a physical therapy intern abroad and was presented with a case of a patient diagnosed with CVA. My grade was on the line. I was asked to perform a thorough evaluation and examination to make an impression and determine the type of stroke the patient is exhibiting. I was scared but was up to the challenge.…
Basketball is one of the most important aspect of my life because it helped me make friends and meet new people. Now, it serves as a catalyst in my decision to be a physical therapist because I saw many basketball players get injured and was interested in the rehabilitation process of the player. I was amazed how a physical therapist and an athletic trainer work together and help the athlete regain his mobility and strength after the injury. I will pursue a bachelor’s degree in health science. In order to achieve this goal, I will continue to attend Stockton University and take the required classes.…
