CONGRATULATIONS NICOLE!
I am happy to announce that I have been accepted into the doctor of physical therapy program at Midwestern University. Although it saddens me to leave the Activa family, both patients and staff, I am excited to take the next step in achieving my goal of becoming a physical therapist. Fortunately, I have been accepted into a few programs, but I have made the decision to attend Midwestern University in Downers Grove. When I visited Midwestern, it gave me a similar feel of my alma matter, DePauw University. I felt rather welcome and a part of the community the moment I stepped on the campus.Their focus on educating the future’s health professionals to be well-rounded health care providers and the many opportunities that the Chicagoland area offers for health care, drew me in. The relationships I have built with the patients are wonderful, irreplaceable experiences that I am so thankful for. Lastly, I want to thank Samir for not only being a outstanding boss, but for also being a great mentor. He has given me direction through this process and demonstrated the intangibles of what it takes to go above and beyond in this profession.
