Elizabeth Heffernan’17

Bachelors of Science, Kinesiology, 2017 

Current position:  I’m currently a first year doctor of physical therapy student at the University of Vermont.

I have my BS in KIN and a minor in Gender and Women’s Studies. I graduated from URI in December 2017. 

I’m in my second semester of physical therapy school and am taking classes as well as looking at my first clinical site placement options. Thanks to my BS in KIN from URI I have a great foundation for my exercise science and movement system courses. At UVM we’re required to help in a doctoral research project and thanks to Dr. Fournier and Dr. Ward-Ritacco, I have a great background and extensive knowledge about this process. I’m so grateful that my undergraduate coursework was able to give me such a great foundation for my DPT program!
