DPT Student Stories

"Upon graduating, my goal is to work as a U.S. military physical therapist. I plan to work alongside combat injured and active duty soldiers to optimize their health and quality of life post-traumatic injury."

"The journey to becoming a physical therapist is challenging but rewarding. Tufts offers the opportunity to take on a hybrid, accelerated format that is fast and intensive but offers flexibility and support."

"Tufts' hybrid structure has allowed me to maximize the amount of time I spend with my family despite being a full time student."

"I want to be a PT who changes someone’s life, like the PT who changed mine."

"My drive now is the belief that physical therapy will be a key tool in combating health inequities within my own community."

"I have always been a self-paced learner and having a hybrid program allows me to set my own study schedule and learn at a pace that is comfortable to me."

"Everyone wants each other to succeed because that is what is going to make our profession even better."
