Unfortunately, there were some technical difficulties last night at graduation, and we weren't able to share our experiences in the PTA program with everyone. It was unforgettable, to say the least - a lot of laughter, tears, frustration, jubilation (and every other emotion you can throw in) - but worth it to see everyone mature from student to clinician. Enjoy this look back at our journey, maybe you'll be the next budding PTA to come from Keiser, heh! :)

Congratulations Cohort 6!!!!! It's been quite the journey, and last night was the icing on the cake...for now, hehe! So awesome to get back together with everyone last night for graduation, it's been a LONG 12 months, hasn't it?!?

Anyway, one more day of "class", and then it's time for the next step. We helped each other get through classes (and clinicals), but now comes the final hurdle: LICENSURE!!!! Time to take a little break and recharge, then hit the ground running. SIX weeks and counting...

And Clinical Experience II is officially in the books!! Which means...

6 WEEKS!!!! ONLY 6 MORE WEEKS!!!

Graduation is closer, which means the posts get shorter, hahaha! Seriously, though, hoping everyone continues to have the best possible experience - wherever we are this time around.

Oh, before we left Palatka, Scotty and I talked about getting everyone together before CE III finishes (since we didn't get everyone together this weekend). Maybe we'll target the middle weekend of the term? What do you all think?

Good luck everyone! I'm sure I'll catch up with some of you on the group chat, heh! ;)

Perfect way to count down the days to Cohort 6's Pinning Ceremony (Thanks, Charlene!) and the PTA Licensure Exam (Thanks, Cristin!).

As quickly as it started, it's coming to an end...

Just sending a long overdue congrats to everyone in Cohort 6 for making it through Rehabilitation! Hope everyone is having an awesome Clinical Experience II - it's crazy to think that we are making that last push to August 21! Seems like it was only yesterday that we were going over muscles and innervations of the spine and trunk, and now we're becoming more skilled as real-life clinicians every day.

Already looking forward to when we all get together again and get to share our experiences...and FINISH up the program!!!

Bruised, but not beaten...

Wow! That was a crazy month. Who would have thought? Burnout (which I think it was) proved to be the c***k in Cohort 6's armor. But it is awesome to see that everyone made it over the hurdle that was Ther-Ex 2. Now it's time to get recharged over the break, then tackle our last in-class obstacle: Rehabilitation!

Again, congrats on Cohort 6 making it to the next level. Very proud to be part of an amazing group of people. I wouldn't want to be on this ride with anybody else! :)

Cohort 6 is still fully intact...you know, that's just what we do, heh! Congratulations on getting past Clinical Experience I! It was great to see everyone yesterday and to hear about the different experiences we all had. Looking forward to absolutely CRUSHING these last two months of in-classroom courses with everyone and getting back out there to finish things off. But first things first...
..TherEx 2. We got this!!! :)

And just like that...BOOM! Clinicals!!!

Congrats on getting through TherEx 1, Cohort 6! Amazing to see how fast time is flying (or will fly) now! 4-1/2 months to go from here...really? It's so close we can ALMOST taste it, hehe! Anyway, I'm sure it will be a welcome pace to ditch the scrubs (and the campus) for a while. Good luck with clinicals! Two weeks will be here before we know it!!! :)

Cindy and Cristin, you guys be sure to hold things down till we get back, hahah!

"Out of the frying pan, and into the fire..."

BOOM! Functional Modalities done. Once again, congrats on an awesome job everyone - Cohort 6 continues to get it done! Looks like it's going to be a hectic two weeks of TherEx 1. So much to do, and literally so little time...so let's enjoy the weekend and once Monday hits, let's get to work!!! :)
