Brendan Benjamin, Second-year DPT student

I am currently in my second year of the DPT program. I chose UC's DPT program after attending the UC DPT informational seminars. It was clear then that the dedication to ensuring student achievement was unmatched. Additionally, I was drawn to the class size since I came from a smaller undergraduate university where I discovered that having one-on-one time with a professor fosters my learning. Finally, I got to view all the equipment that was accessible to the program while I was touring the Health Sciences Building, and this appealed to me since I wanted to have the ability to test out these various modalities and devices.
