It all starts with the brain, and the signals it sends to the rest of the body! The 12 cranial nerves are command central and Drs. Goins, Baker, and M. Green have used every crayon, marker, playdoh tub, and pool noodle to try to help us understand this complex system.

Evidence-based practice has been the mantra behind everything we have learned in PT school. We are so thankful for Dr. Trepte and her love of research. She has shaped our clinical reasoning skills and taught us how to evaluate what we have read to inform our decisions with solid research and data. We take the lessons she has taught us into each problem we solve.

Can we even say enough about this amazing group of people? Their passion, compassion, wisdom, knowledge, sense of humor, and belief in us, in the CU DPT program, and the PT profession has made this journey better than we could have
imagined. They have asked the hard questions, pushed us out of our comfort zones, challenged us to do better and be better, to understand why not just what, and above all, to consider the whole patient, not just their symptoms or impairments. “Thank you” barely scratches the surface.

We love the 3rd floor of Tracey F. Smith Hall. Our home away from home with its orange walls and orange chairs and cozy study nooks and big windows. It holds our blood, sweat, and tears and is the backdrop of our best memories, most anxious moments, and some pretty crazy photo ops.

From learning the basics of how to use goniometers, bubble inclinometers, sphygmomanometers, and stethoscopes, to the more complex nuances of performing TUG tests, 5-meter walk tests, Dix Hallpike tests and Peabody Developmental Motor Scales- you have to have a way to measure outcomes! (and yes, there are waaaayyy more than 8, you might use more than 8 in one patient examination!)
