Year in Program: 1
Growing up playing different sports and experiencing a number of sports injuries always motivated me to learn more about human anatomy and rehabilitation sciences. After experiencing two anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstructions, other major injuries and having to go through the rehabilitation process myself, I know how vital physiotherapy is for the re-establishment of a patient’s quality of life.
UBC’s Master of Physical Therapy program is well known across Canada. I also did my undergrad in kinesiology at UBC and enjoyed my time here. When I learned about the UBC Master of Physical Therapy – North program, I realized that it would be a great opportunity for me to live in northern B.C. and learn and work in rural communities. Also, I was privileged to do a placement in a small town, which provided me with an opportunity to learn more about Indigenous cultures and better understand some of the health care challenges that are unique in rural areas.
Going to Qatar 2022 World Cup to watch the games and collaborate with all the team’s physiotherapists.
