  • Why did you choose Rutgers DPT 4+3 Program?: I chose the Rutgers DPT 4+3 Program because it proved beneficial to me in many ways. The Rutgers 4+3 DPT Program provides me with an oasis of likeminded people who are just goal oriented and determined as I am. Additionally the staff help me to navigate all the required courses and provided us with a roster of physical therapy facilities that aid in gaining volunteer hours.

What made you want to become a Physical Therapist?
Initially I wanted to become a physician associate however after recovering from an athletic injury, the rehabilitation process began to interest me. More specifically, I began to understand how rewarding the profession can be, as you help patients grow and reach a range of motion that they’d previously had.

How do you think this program has helped you prepare for graduate school?
This program will help me to prepare for graduate school as it aims to keep me focused on achieving high grades while also emphasizes the importance of getting involved with the school extracurriculars. 

One fun fact about myself is that I'm Ghanaian, and I love going to the gym because the changes my body goes through during the different seasons never ceases to amaze me.
