SLU PT Student Jay Urgello had an Amazing Clinical Experience at Athletico in Darien, Illinois



SLU PT Clinical Site Spotlight – Athletico Physical Therapy in Darien, IL

By Jay Urgello (Class of 2022)

My clinical experience was at an outpatient clinic with many high school athletes, Medicare patients, and post-operative knee/hip replacements. I learned a lot of different manual techniques and refined my clinical decision-making skills. I had the privilege to also work closely with the athletic trainers in neighboring high schools and further my knowledge of sports-specific rehabilitation.

I would like to thank my clinical instructor, Claire Dreschsler, for always taking the extra time to teach me everything that you know! You made me feel confident as a future clinician. Your dedication to your patients and to your craft continues to inspire me to aim higher. I had such a great time as your student and I'll always remember our time together as a very formative time for my professional growth.
