Well, the semester is under way and the thoughts of the comprehensive exam are now far from my mind. However, for those curious, it went well. . . well, well enough to pass the test. As I mentioned before, this is an exam that covers everything we have learned in the program, from anatomy to [...]

My presentation is supposed to be about 45 minutes on the topic of fibromyalgia and the implications for Physical Therapy. . . . [...]

Week 4 of Clinicals start this week. 4 more weeks to go. It’s still going great. I’m doing more and more with patients. I’ve talked with a few classmates this last week, one is in acute care, another in a skilled nursing facility, and another on the rehab floor of the hospital, and it is [...]

While giving a tour a few weeks ago to a group of prospective students from Idaho, I was asked a great question: Since Regis University is more expensive when compared to an in-state tuition school I’m looking at, what makes it so great? Or in other words, as a future graduate from Regis, will l [...]

Spring break for me was spent here in Denver with Ashley, Spencer and Daisy. From playing at parks to going on runs, we had a great time. A lot of my class headed home for the break or up into the mountains for some skiing/snowboarding, whereas two particular classmates, Katie and Jeff, had a somewhat [...]

It is a little too quiet in my apartment right now. Since Ashley’s mom had a TKA (total knee arthroplasty) last month, she and Spencer boarded a train last Sunday for Utah to go and help out for a week and a half. (We thought Spencer might like the train, and he sure did. However, [...]

It’s interview time once again for the upcoming DPT Class of 2013. I had almost forgotten about interviews until a group of well-dressed individuals were led into our lab room to observe our class for 15 minutes or so. I really like to observe people, so it was fun watching these candidates, who all looked [...]

Finals are officially over. Semester IV of DPT school is checked off. The tests weren’t too bad; just a week of cramming and stressing. As usual, all 4 tests were comprehensive, and, as usual, the majority of the questions asked, “What is the BEST option? “ and then you have 4 options that are all [...]

This week our class has two practical exams: one in Neuro-management I and another in Musculoskeletal Management II. They basically consist of 15-30 minutes of high stress, fear, sweat, near black-outs, cold sweat anticipation, and performing Physical Therapy “services” to a faculty member who acts like a patient while another faculty member is breathing [...]
