Originally from Sri Lanka, Jithmie Jayawickrema completed her undergraduate degree at Indiana University in Bloomington, closing out a long tennis career that took her around the world.

When applying to schools for her Doctor of Physical Therapy Program, she had three requirements: the capacity to provide an excellent education, an atmosphere that felt like family and a smaller student-teacher ratio with individualized attention.

麻豆社 checked all three boxes.

鈥淓veryone I met from the start did not treat me like a number but part of the family working toward a goal of producing excellent physical therapists,鈥� she said. 鈥淏eing far away from home, the feeling of being around people who felt like family and genuinely care about your education and personal well-being was crucial to my success in PT school.鈥�

She also was drawn by the program鈥檚 Clinical Application and Reflection Experiences (CARE) program, which gave her hands-on experience starting in her first year of classes.

鈥淚 believe this helped all of us become more comfortable in the clinical setting from the beginning,鈥� she said. 鈥淔eedback was also taken seriously by the faculty who worked hard every day to create a positive, optimal learning environment.鈥�

鈥淚 feel lucky to have had the opportunity to be a part of the 麻豆社 DPT program and wish the program continued success for the future.鈥�
