"The education I received at Chatham allowed me to feel confident entering the post-acute healthcare realm. As a clinical instructor and business operator, I am always eager to work with current Chatham students. They are always prepared with problem-based learning experiences and functional solutions, to provide the best quality treatments. I would recommend Chatham University to any and all students who dream of being the best of the best in the Physical Therapy space."

-Keely肯特, PT, DPT 07年, RAC-CT, QCP, Vice President of Compliance and Clinical 服务 for Continuum Therapy Partners

"It is difficult to describe how well Chatham’s PT program prepared me for a career in physical therapy. Having close and open relationships with professors who had tremendous clinical knowledge helped me to go into clinical practice with confidence even when I was a new graduate. Chatham’s program also prepared me well for a career in academia, to teach the next generation of physical therapists and develop an exciting research agenda."

—Julie Stutzbach, PT, DPT的14, Ph.D. candidate at the University of Colorado: Anschutz Medical Campus

"Chatham helped build my foundation needed to excel outside of the classroom. It is not just what they teach—it is how they teach. It is the self-directed learning and problem solving skills that have guided me through my continued professional growth."

—杰西卡·荷马PT, DPT的14, COMT的, HMS, 口服避孕药, Operations Director for Hess Physical Therapy, 匹兹堡, PA

"I have been a clinical instructor for 16 years, and I am always happy to take Chatham students. The structure of their didactic material prepares them well for their clinical rotations. They are able to critically think outside of protocols and classification systems with less assistance from me, and they always carry themselves in a professional manner. As someone that hires clinical 工作人员, I can attest that Chatham students possess a lot of the qualities employers are looking for in new grads and future employees."

—Martine Marino, MPT, COMT的, Center Manager for NovaCare, Bethel Park, PA

"As an experienced clinical instructor to many physical therapy students over the years, Chatham DPT students stand out for their self-confidence, 敏度, and self-driven nature to seek out answers in the face of uncertainty."

——jeffrey S. 罗斯曼, PT, DPT, 口服避孕药, Facility Director UPMC 中心 for Rehab 服务-Squirrel Hill, 匹兹堡, PA

"It's been a pleasure to partner with Chatham University's DPT program. Each student consistently arrives prepared to immediately engage in clinical care with strong clinical reasoning, 检查, and treatment skills necessary to take on meaningful roles in the care delivery system at our clinics. Throughout the affiliation the Clinical Education Team provides oversight and support for both students and Clinical Instructors to ensure the experience meets set expectations."
