PT/OT Student? USC DPT Graduate here to help with Kines or ortho!

Chris P.

Hi, I'm Chris! I am a graduate of the Doctor of Physical Therapy program at the University of Southern California. After graduation, I completed my Orthopedic Residency at UT Southwestern Medical Center. I love Anatomy, Physiology, and Kinesiology and want to share my excitement with you. I have experience as an Undergraduate and Graduate Teaching assistant in Human Anatomy, Biomechanics, and Strength and Conditioning.

I love helping students find creative ways to think through and apply the material at hand. Too often in Anatomy, students memorize everything and then quickly forget it after the test. As a healthcare professional, we need knowledge that will last!

I have taken several graduate-level Anatomy, Physiology, Biomechanics, and Kinesiology courses at three different institutions. Over three years as a teaching assistant, I taught several hundred undergraduate students in the cadaver prosection lab at Ohio State. I have completed two graduate-level complete dissection courses and have now studied from dozens of different cadavers.

I can’t wait to learn with you! I can also offer general advice on the graduate school admissions process and answer any questions about my path into physical therapy school.
