QUOTES FROM ALUMNI: 

* "I attribute much of my success as a therapist to my education from The Mount. Without the personal guidance of every faculty member, the well-constructed curriculum, or the constantly challenging course load I would not have had a knowledge or confidence to dive into the world of pediatric physical therapy. I believe it was the DPT program at The Mount that showed me that hard work pays off, and that countless hours of study for 3 years meant a lifetime of joy.I feel confident that every DPT student at The Mount has an advantage when it comes to starting out as a new graduate and helping to make their patient's lives better!"

* "My experience at the Mount as a PT student was rewarding because of the dedicated talented faculty and the diverse clinical education opportunities I was afforded. I now manage a busy outpatient orthopedic practice and would not be able to do so if it was not for the strong foundation I received from the orthopedic experts on the Mount's faculty. The high expectations of professionalism and preparedness that were instilled in me by the Mount PT program are things I still carry with me today." 

* "The Physical Therapy Program at the Mount has provided me opportunities to learn not only through academics but also through leadership roles in SPTA and hands-on experience with "real" patients. With this dynamic education I have received, I feel prepared to accept any challenge I am presented with in the future." 

* "I like the small classes, the help offered by the registration staff and the professors who are passionate about their subject. I like the campus too even strangers greet you as you pass them in the hall." 

* "We will be able to apply what we learn in a real-life patient setting, while gaining valuable hands-on experience treating patients. I believe the Mount makes it a priority to teach professionalism through experience." 

* "Upon graduation, I gained a greater appreciation for my education when I entered the workforce. As an entry level therapist my critical thinking and reasoning skills were beyond my experience level, and were grounded in a sound knowledge base."
