Why Choose UTC PT?

"I chose the UTC PT program because of the city, small class size, and opportunities for development in individual areas of interest. The faculty are dynamic, individually specialized, and genuinely interested in the students' lives in and out of class."
-Kim Lemmings

"The UTC PT program has a diverse faculty with respect to areas of expertise. Professors have extensive experience in the following: orthopedics, pediatrics, neurology, wound care, cardiopulmonary, and gait analysis."
-Bill Robinson

"The faculty at UTC provide a wide base of knowledge in a variety of speciality areas which allow the students a contact person when any questions arise in class or clinic."
-Erica Butler

"The cornerstone of this program is the faculty. UTC, by far, has one of the most outstanding and well rounded group of faculty available. As a graduate, I feel confident and competent in my ability to deliver a high level of care as a graduating physical therapist."
-David E. Bright

"I always felt well-prepared for my clinicals. The information we were given proved to be excellent resources while in the clinic. Coming out of the program, I feel I have had very strong clinical experiences in a variety of settings, along with a strong academic background. Thte faculty are excellent! They are always available and more than willing to help, even after graduation."
-Kamari Venable

"I often reflect on the positive impact UTC has made on my career. All of you helped to lay the foundation for the success I’ve experienced. I’m grateful to you all. Several quotes from the faculty often visit me. They include: "If time allows, always try to do something to make your patient feel better on the first visit”, “If you filling in for a therapist, do not change the treatment” (the story about the lady with RA of the hands), “When performing PROM on an unconscious patient, treat them as if they were awake, and explain what you are doing”, and for the most most recurring comment, “Am I doing the right thing, and am I doing the right thing correctly?”
