🎓 Student Spotlight: Josh – ORS West Ave 🎓
This week we say goodbye to Josh, a DPT student from Western Michigan University, as he wraps up his clinical rotation at ORS West Ave.
From day one, Josh impressed everyone with his ability to build quick connections with patients and staff. His strong communication skills, clinical knowledge, and welcoming personality created an environment where patients felt supported and motivated. As Brady shared, “Josh has been an outstanding clinical student… His combination of clinical understanding and interpersonal strengths make him an asset to any team. He will be missed by all at West Ave!”
When asked about his experience, Josh said his favorite part was simple: “The people! From my CIs and colleagues to the patients we helped, everyone made every day at ORS a blast.”
Josh also shared that his time at ORS gave him a new perspective: while he once leaned toward inpatient PT, he now sees how rewarding outpatient PT can be—and could see himself pursuing it in the future.
Perhaps the biggest lesson he’s taking with him? “The importance of the PT–patient relationship. Patients consistently spoke about how great their provider was and how much they improved—and you could see their appreciation in the smiles (and the sweet treats they brought in)!”
Thank you, Josh, for bringing your positivity, curiosity, and dedication to West Ave. Best of luck on your journey to becoming a physical therapist, you’ll be missed! 💙

✨ Student Spotlight: Jimmy Nguyen, SPT ✨
This week, we say goodbye to Jimmy Nguyen, a DPT student from the University of Michigan-Flint, as he wraps up his clinical rotation at ORS – Gateway Lofts.

Jimmy says his favorite part of his time here has been “interacting with both the patients and my colleagues—chatting, laughing, and cracking dad jokes. The staff at Gateway Lofts are phenomenal and a blast to be around!”

During his rotation, Jimmy learned that being a great physical therapist is about so much more than clinical skills. It’s about teamwork, compassion, and creating an environment where patients feel supported and motivated.

He leaves with a valuable takeaway: “Stay adaptable and curious. Growth as a PT comes from being open to new ideas and always looking for ways to improve.”

Thank you, Jimmy, for your energy, humor, and dedication to your patients. We wish you the best in your future career! 💙
