Major & Career Goals
What's happening currently and what's to come
Major: Exercise Science
Throughout my years at IUPUI I will be taking courses like Anatomy which involves diving into the structure of the human body. Studying its numerous systems and how they interact. It explains the skeletal system, muscles, organs, and other anatomical parts in depth. A complete understanding of anatomy is extremely important for a Physical Therapist since I will be working directly with all parts of the body, adjusting the spine and other body parts to improve wellness.
While anatomy deals with structure, physiology is focused with how the body’s systems work. It explains how muscles contract, nerves communicate messages, and different organs work together. Understanding the physiological parts of the human body is also important for a Physical Therapist since I will attempt to maximize its purpose through adjustments and treatments.
Related sciences is also required. Biology, chemistry, and physics are examples of these. These courses give you a larger scientific knowledge for understanding the body’s structure, which is important in Physical Therapy.
Next stop...
Beginning my road to graduate school as a future Physical Therapist seems like entering an environment where my love for studying the human body may fully blossom. Completing my undergraduate major in Exercise Science was a tremendous accomplishment that laid the foundation for my following journey.
This isn't just a graduate program, it's an unforgettable journey in which my passion for an active lifestyle combines with my academic interests. I look forward to the difficulties and successes that graduate school will offer, knowing that each step will get me closer to accomplishing my dream of being a certified Physical Therapist.
Final Destination
After completing graduate school and becoming a Physcial Therapist, I find myself on my last destination, the completion of a lifetime goal. Now Equipped with a thorough grasp of the human body and the practice of Physical Therapy, I am ready to begin on a profession that combines my love of physical activity with my desire to improve the well-being of others.
In my final destination, I see a successful practice in which I am not only a healthcare provider but also involved in the well-being of my community. It's a place where graduate school knowledge meets understanding, leading to the healing atmosphere for those who entrust me with their care.
