Dr. Michael Furtado
Dr. Michael Furtado has turned personal challenges into professional purpose. Now, as the chair of the Department of Physical Therapy at UNT Health, he is training future physical therapists with his life experiences guiding him every step of the way. Specializing in neurological conditions, amputations and balance disorders, Furtado found deep meaning in guiding individuals through recovery after his own experiences and hopes to pass that forward to his students.
