My name is Josh, and I am entering my third and final year of the Doctor of Physical Therapy program. I completed my exercise science bachelor's at UB early as part of the 3 + 3 program. Working as a PT so far my favorite subset of patients have been in neuro rehab, specifically Parkinson’s and MS. I am hopeful that my future as a clinician will include a wide variety of neurological patients either inpatient hospital or outpatient based. If you have any questions about the DPT program, physical therapy as a profession or what it’s like to be a graduate student feel free to reach out to me!

Hi everyone! I am currently a third year student in the Doctor of Physical Therapy program (DPT). I have completed my undergraduate here at UB majoring in Exercise Science. I’m honored to take on a role as student ambassador and what’s best about UB is that there’s always lots of opportunities to be involved in to help achieve your goals. My experience in UB is that I have worked as a student tutor in anatomy and physiology for the student athletes. I’m involved in DPT club as Treasurer and I’m also the Vice President for APTA SSIG NY chapter. I love to build connections and share any advice to help make your time here at UB better! Please don’t hesitate to reach out to me, I am happy to answer any questions you have about the DPT program or just UB in general! 

My name is Jordan Green and I am a third year DPT student from the Bronx, NY. I grew up playing basketball and played Division I at the University of Rhode Island, where I also was a strength and conditioning intern. I was first introduced to physical therapy in high school while receiving rehabilitation for a multitude of injuries. That was when I fell in love with being able to potentially help others recover and return to sports or normal life without pain! My future goals are to obtain my SCS and CSCS and eventually open a sports rehab clinic to help more people get the care they need to live the most functional life possible. Reach out if you have any questions about the the DPT Program or life here at UB!
