Student Testimonials

"I had an extremely positive experience during my 8 week clinical at Urbana PT. The entire staff was very welcoming and supportive of me as a student; I never once felt intimidated. I was impressed with how well the staff got along and at how smoothly the clinic ran. It was nice to see an entire staff working together toward a common goal of providing the best possible care for their patients.

I felt blessed to have Benjy as my CI. He was always patient and open to my many questions. I was impressed with how willing he was to teach me, especially when it came to manual techniques ( a weakness of mine). He often took extra time to help me practice, review, or find a handout for me to keep. Benjy was a very supportive CI and helped to build my confidence and skills as an outpatient PT.

As I look toward graduation in a few months, I will definitely remember my clinical at Urbana PT as a positive experience that truly helped me to develop myself both as a PT and a person"

"Being here at Urbana Physical Therapy for my last clinical was a God send. All the PTs and PTAs were never to busy to answer any questions that I had. I am so thankful that I had the opportunity to 'work' with everyone here! I have learned a lot and wish I could have spent more time here! Thank you and special thanks to you Jackie, you are wonderful!

-Shawn Peters, Student Physical Therapist Assistant, Clark State Community College, Class of 2008

"I really learned a lot during my clinical at Urbana Physical Therapy. My clinical instructor gave me many opportunities for independence, yet remained eager and available to answer my questions. All of the physical therapists at UPT provided me with resources and spent time teaching me complex skills. I would recommend UPT to other students. It’s a great place to practice and improve your hands-on techniques."

-Melanie McClain, Student Physical Therapist, The Ohio State University, MPT Class of 2007

"All the clinicians and staff were definitely blessings to meet here at Urbana Physical Therapy! This clinical has helped me grow professionally and personally. Being the last clinical of my curriculum, they created an atmosphere where I could determine where I was and where I needed to be to become an entry-level clinician. All of the clinicians were easily approachable and always willing to help me out and teach me new techniques. I would definitely recommend this physical therapy clinical site to anyone, especially those that are ready to be challenged for their independent futures."
