Dr. Zondlo graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology (Movement Science emphasis) in 2008 and a Doctor of Physical Therapy Degree from the University of Utah in 2011. Her clinical work experience over the past decade has focused on outpatient orthopedic care in large hospital settings that routinely collect patient reported outcome scores. It was through her clinical work experience that she was inspired to pursue her Masters of Science in Clinical Investigation and Doctor of Philosophy in Rehabilitation Science from the University of Utah (2021). Her research focuses on healthcare utilization and cost of common musculoskeletal conditions such as anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction and knee osteoarthritis. She has published on the relationship of clinical outcomes and physical therapy visits in patients following ACL reconstruction, total joint arthroplasty, and hip arthroscopy. She also has presented nationally and recently concluded her work as PI on a pilot study grant examining healthcare utilization and rurality for knee osteoarthritis in Medicare beneficiaries.
