DPT Family

• About two weeks ago was one heck of a week for our class of 18 PT students, but a very good one! We:
• had our last class...ever.
• took our last final exam...ever.
• took our comprehensive exam (a recall of 3 years of info, basically) and 100% passed!
• celebrated that twice in one day...lunch at Pawley's Front Porch (the most amazing burger you've ever had) and dinner at Mellow Mushroom and
• took a Board Review class to get an idea of how to prepare for studying for boards

• So all in all, we finished the academic portion of our 3.5 year program!!! We are all thrilled to have the rest of the summer off to relax and finish research until we begin our final clinical rotations July 30 in various places and settings. Some are doing a second/specialized orthopedic rotation, some are doing pediatrics, and 3 or 4 of us are doing home health. Clinical ends mid-October and we graduate December 13! The end is in sight!!! 
• Here's a pic of our class (minus Aaron & Christina, Jess, and Forest) after comps at Pawley's :)
 
• Honestly, I'm a little sad our time together is almost at an end! I've lived life next to these 17 other people for the last 3 years! We've seen the good, bad, and ugly of each other! We've 
• celebrated 4 weddings (and 3 more to come)
• mourned the loss of loved ones
• studied God's Word & prayed together
• welcomed a baby girl into the world
• laughed at stupid YouTube videos
• presented I don't even know how many case studies
• and celebrated the end of nearly every semester like champs! Oh that reminds me! 
• Two intramural sports championships (with some help from other classes)! 
• And all 18 of us have made it through with no hold-ups!
• It's been a real honor and privilege to work with these 17 people who I call DPT family! :)
