Dr. Amy Schepers is from Grand Rapids, MI. After attending Calvin College for undergrad, she completed her DPT at Duke University in 2017. Amy worked in acute care treating neuro and general medicine patients before beginning the University of Utah’s Neurologic Physical Therapy Residency in the summer of 2019. Amy is currently certified in LSVT-BIG and has enjoyed mentoring physical therapy students during her first two years of practice. She was drawn to Utah’s residency because of the variety of neuro diagnoses receiving care at the U and the teaching assistant opportunities within the DPT program. She volunteers with adaptive sports/recreation through the University of Utah’s TRAILS.
Amy’s clinical interests include student clinical education, the multifactorial aspects of balance impairments in neuro populations, and translating research into everyday interventions. She hopes to explore these interests during her residency and in her post-residency career.
