March Student Spotlight

We are excited to announce our March Student Spotlight, Kayce Visger! Kayce is currently in her final semester of Pima Medical Institute’s Bachelor of Science in Physical Therapist Assistant Program and is set to graduate in June 2025.

Kayce’s journey in the world of physical therapy began in 2001 when she graduated from Blackhawk Technical College. For over two decades, she worked full-time as an Outpatient PTA, while also serving as a Lab Assistant at Blackhawk, where she mentored and educated future PTAs.

In Fall 2024, Kayce took on a new challenge, transitioning fully into academia to become the Director of Clinical Education at Blackhawk. Balancing her career, education, and family life has been demanding but rewarding. She is a devoted wife and mother to two children, and four stepchildren, setting a powerful example of lifelong learning and dedication.

Kayce shared with us that at one point in her career, she felt burned out and uncertain about continuing in patient care. However, her pursuit of higher education has reignited her passion and inspired her once again. She reflects on this transition as one of the most challenging yet rewarding experiences of her life, one that has become one of her greatest accomplishments.

Kayce, we are honored to recognize you for your unwavering commitment to both education and patient care. You are truly an inspiration to all of us!
