Clara Öberg PT, DPT

B.S. Exercise Science ‘24 | Doctor of Physical Therapy ‘26

"I am beyond excited and grateful to share that I graduated from the University of Evansville as a Doctor of Physical Therapy on May 9th and passed the April National Physical Therapy Examination! From being accepted as a freshman with direct admission to the DPT program on an accelerated 3+3 track to volunteering with AceCARE to completing my final clinical placement with Neuro Tour’s London clinic, UE has provided several opportunities to develop my confidence and skills. I am endlessly thankful for the past three years with UE DPT and for the support of all the fantastic people who helped me along the way! I am so excited for this next chapter and look forward to starting my career at Neuro Tour and working with performing artists!"
