"The education I received at Luther was critical in my preparation for becoming a physical therapist.The relationships I made with classmates and the ability to connect and work hands on with my instructors allowed me to mature as a future member of the healthcare team. My knowledge of the anatomy and ability to communicate with athletes allowed me to seamlessly transition into the physical therapy curriculum and clinical rotations. Thank you to all of the current and past members of the Luther College Athletic Training program for making my time there so memorable."
