Dear HRS Alumni,

The Alumni Society Board is continuously working hard to create exciting ways for our alumni to network, celebrate and impact the future of healthcare through our current students. Each year we plan a variety of events in hopes of appealing to as many of our alumni as possible. To view our events, make sure to check out the Upcoming Events section. 

We are always looking for new ideas and members. If you are an alumnus interested in helping to shape the impact of HRS Alumni at Ohio State, we want to hear from you! There are several ways to be involved on the alumni board including event planning, volunteering, fundraising and connecting with our current students. Please reach out with your interest at hrsalumni@osumc.edu.

We look forward to hearing from you and hope to see you at an event soon!

Sincerely,

"My favorite academic experiences in HRS have been my clinical experiences. I have gone on to complete my DPT and the friendships I have made along the way. These experiences and the people I have met have changed my life forever.

This scholarship has allowed me to be fully dedicated to my DPT/PhD and has allowed me to include additional, once-in-a-lifetime experiences into my education including the service learning trip to Merida, Mexico and completing my practicum in a research lab in Lille, France. I am so grateful for this scholarship and the opportunities it has given me! Thank you!!"

"I sustained many injuries while growing up as an ice hockey player. Each injury brought with it a subsequent course of Physical Therapy. I soon recognized that when I was connected with a truly passionate Physical Therapist I not only recovered more quickly, but I felt better emotionally and even performed better. These dedicated Physical Therapists made an enormous difference in my life. It was their influence that drove me to pursue Physical Therapy so I may help others in the same manner."

"I was interested in pursuing a dual degree (DPT/PhD), and OSU was one of the few schools that offers this. I met my advisor, Dr. Jill Heathcock, and decided it was a great fit! For me, this scholarship means that I have the time I need to pursue both of my degrees simultaneously, and spend time working toward my goal of doing an inter-departmental research project on hippotherapy as part of my dissertation."
