Why Our Rehab Team Loves Working at UAB Medicine
-
UAB Medicine is the best place for my role because I have had the opportunity to work with a wide range of patients with different conditions, personal backgrounds, and needs. The environment fostered by UAB allows me to develop truly personalized care plans for each patient, treating them as more than just their diagnosis and giving them the one-on-one care they deserve.

UAB’s physical therapy doctoral program initially brought me to Alabama. During the program, I had an opportunity to work with researchers at Spain Rehab and immediately was drawn to its environment and culture. I was always interested in this setting, and my passion for it has only grown since coming on board as a physical therapist. I am grateful to have a system of support from my co-workers that encourages and empowers me to progress in my profession.
