Meet Jeff

In 2006 Jeff Buis found himself out of work when his employer moved production overseas.

“Fortunately for me and hundreds of other Kentuckians, the Workforce Investment Act afforded me educational opportunities and hope for the future. During this period of transition, I became aware of the reputation for excellence and many program offerings available through Somerset Community College (SCC),” Buis said.

After carefully researching his opportunities, Buis applied to the Physical Therapist Assistant Program at SCC.

“It was one of the best decisions of my life. Not only did I receive an exceptional education, but I was supported and encouraged to participate in service learning projects and professional development activities related to the profession, including active participation in the American Physical Therapy Association,” he explained.

Buis graduated from SCC with an Associate Degree in Applied Science as a Physical Therapist Assistant in May, 2009.

He was elected to the American Physical Therapy Association PTA Caucus as the Representative for the state of Kentucky in September, 2009. 

He is employed as a Physical Therapist Assistant in Campbellsville, KY.

Jeff Buis said deciding to enroll in the Physical Therapist Assistant Program at Somerset Community College "was one of the best decisions of my life."
