Meet the Class of 2023

Manav Sandhu

By dcc2012 | November 10, 2023

Hometown: Prince George, BC
Program: Master of Physical Therapy
What attracted you to your field?

When I was younger, I dislocated my kneecap playing basketball and a physiotherapist helped me tremendously throughout my recovery. The experience also taught me about the importance that movement has on both our physical and mental health. This inspired and motivated me to pursue a career path where I could help others, and help to improve our healthcare system to ensure that all patients have access to the care they need.

What is one piece of advice you have for students entering your program?

Embrace the chaos. The program is challenging and will push your limits, but that is okay. It is important to know that you are not alone and to remember that you deserve to be here, so be confident, take a breath and embrace every experience.

What does transforming health for everyone mean to you in practice?

It means changing peoples’ relationships with health. By having healthcare providers work alongside their patients as part of a team, patients can take more ownership and control over their own health. This approach not only helps empower all patients but can also lead to better health outcomes.
