Kathryn Graham
Kathryn Graham, DO
2008 graduate of Exercise Physiology
The core Kinesiology classes laid the framework for her to excel in her emphasis in graduate school.

Kathryn grew up in Pittsburgh and drank the proverbial Penn State Kool-Aid starting at a young age. Half of her family are Penn State alumni. She fell in love with the rolling hills, the crisp fall smell tangled with burgers at homecoming cook-outs, ice cream, THON, and the rest of the Penn State experience in grade school. Because of these early introductions to Penn State football Kathryn has been able to meet every coach except Rip Engle.
When it came time to apply for college it was a no brainer that she would attend Penn State. The Universities top notch educational opportunities was icing on the cake. Her education continued after graduation at Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine. Kathryn is currently a Hospitalist for Apogee Physicians in DuBois, PA.

For Kathryn the Core Kinesiology classes of Biomechanics, Physiology and Human Anatomy lead her to explore Osteopathic Medical School. Additionally, Doctors of Osteopathic Medicine are trained in manual manipulation which is where Chiropractic stems from. These courses laid the framework for her to excel in this area during school.
During her time at Penn State Kathryn was able to dance in THON 2006 for the Kinesiology Club. This opportunity was one of the major highlights of her time in Happy Valley.
