Name:
Sarah Title: Physical
Therapist & VP of Clinical Operations
How
long have you been with ARC?
I have been with
Accelerated for 8 years.
Where
did you attend Physical Therapy school?
I attended Midwestern University in
Downers Grove, IL and graduated Physical Therapy school in 1999.
Why
did you choose to become a Physical Therapist?
Outside of wanting to help people, I
like the interaction with people and always wanted to challenge myself in a
medical profession. Physical therapy provided
me the challenge I was looking for. My
undergraduate education was in engineering and I had an interest in prosthesis,
which is why I also enjoy orthopedics.
Why
did you choose to work at Accelerated?
This was my second position since
graduating from PT school and I was looking to get into management. Although I was early in my career, I met with
one of the partners at Accelerated who strongly encouraged me to take on the
management position. Since he took a
chance on me, I joined Accelerated given the opportunity to advance my career.
Today, I am especially proud of the clinical education and mentoring that we
offer new graduates and employees. As
long as therapists have the passion, Accelerated will definitely afford them
the opportunity and I think that is very unique. If you are motivated, and you aspire to
clinical excellence, you will always have upward mobility at Accelerated
Your
greatest accomplishment as a Physical Therapist:
Receiving my Doctorate of Science
Degree at the University of Maryland School of Medicine.
Areas
of specialization:
Manual Therapy and I am also an adjunct faculty member at Midwestern University teaching orthopedics and gross anatomy.
Long
term goals as a Physical Therapist:
I would like to make Gross Anatomy more
accessible to Accelerated physical therapists by launching an in-house anatomy
program.
When
I am not at work, I am:
Golfing, playing volleyball and I
really enjoy traveling.
