The experiences I have gained at RMU have molded and shaped me into a good clinician with the tools to aid me in furthering my education and continuing to progress as a PT. I have been able to overcome many hardships and trials during this program because of the assistance I received from my Advisor and other faculty members.

I had a great experience in my 20 month Master's Program. I was very happy with the quality of my professors, their availability and level of involvement. I was also very happy with the interaction with my fellow students in the virtual education environment something I had no experience with prior to the program.
Overall I am a better coach with a significant quantity of science behind my practice.
RMUoHP gave me a foundation of physical therapy knowledge, but moreover, it challenged me to keep growing in my profession in knowledge, service, and leadership. The DPT program encouraged continued evidence-based practice and investigating research to continue with the best patient care. They really preached service as an aspect of our profession, and challenged us with continuing to provide service for both to our local and global communities. I also feel like RMUoHP really tasked us with service in leadership positions. They emphasized how important getting involved with leadership is for our profession. I have always felt supported by any and all professors as mentors since graduating from RMU and now that I currently work there, there is still that sense of comradery and support. Though RMU raises the bar for how they feel healthcare professionals should be educated and practice, they strongly support their students to achieve this standard.
RMU completely changed my LIFE! I have made lifetime friends, and we have been there for each other not only through school-related things but through everything else that life consists of. Career-wise, I went from going to work every day and being satisfied just where I was to having a desire for growth and excellence in my profession. I enjoy learning more about my craft now and researching the very best evidence-based practices for my clients. During school, I have received several certifications that have increased my knowledge, and many of them I learned about from my classmates. Now, I am the only SLP in my entire state to provide one particular swallowing treatment and one of about seven people to provide two other treatments.
In addition, RMU was essential in me learning how to start a private practice and improved my confidence in myself that I can actually run one! Now, I am running a successful practice with five independent contractors. Also, I am in a position where I am almost ready to transition to doing my private practice full time, which will increase my salary even more while having more time with my family. RMU is a perfect place to jumpstart anyone looking to surpass all their career and life goals! I highly recommend RMU!!!

My husband attends this school and I would highly recommend it to anyone! He graduates in a couple months and we have been very pleased with his education here. As we are getting close to him getting a job, we realize how prepared he is because of the school. He has scored above the national average on his practice board exams. We love the atmosphere the school has created. The small class size has made close knit friendships. We will forever be grateful for this school!
RMUoHP has helped this learner translate evidence based practice into working with clients and advocacy. The program is integrated with nurturing faculty who are learner-centered. They seek to support my academic and professional pursuits. RMUoHP's hybrid program allowed me to pursue higher education without sacrificing development of my clinical skills in the real world. I would recommend RMUoHP to those that want the best of both worlds. Though challenging, it was worthwhile.
I am thankful for faculty and fellow learners motivating me to not settle for complacency. There is always more to do for my clients, my profession, and myself. That foundation was built here and it will continue to grow.

My experience at RMUoHP was amazing. It began with my inquiry and application to the program! From the very beginning, every interaction with all staff members and faculty has always been very professional and positive! All inquires and requests were handled expeditiously. From the educational aspect all of the faculty was stellar! I learned so much from each and every professor. The professors were very accommodating and supportive during some times of personal turmoil. Dr. Jan Reese was amazing and made learning the technology seamless! Dr. McClary has been an awesome educator and mentor throughout this entire program. She was always only a text or call away! Drs. Shibinski & Martin really did a wonderful job teaching the fundamentals of becoming an educator and helping me establish a strong foundation their step ladder approach helped me understand so clearly. Dr. Rust has also been instrumental in my success it all started from a message received from Dr. Rust via LinkedIn! He has done a great job putting together this program and faculty. As I stated previously it has been a great experience from beginning to end!!!

I learned a lot at RMU. I learned a lot about becoming a PT and how to be a good one, not just someone who just gets by. I have met a lot of great friends from school and I feel that all of the professors are very personable and know who you are and care about how you're doing. You don't get lost and just become a number which I really enjoyed.
Through my experience at RMUoHP, I have gained confidence in researching and applying evidence-based research to my daily practice. When I have a clinical or ethical challenge, I am now equipped to search out the latest research and apply it to the current situation.
