Julie McCulley Quinlan

Julie Quinlan, MPO, MS, CPO, ATC was the first faculty member hired for the Orthotics and Prosthetics (O&P) program.

Originally from Kutztown, Pennsylvania, Quinlan earned her undergraduate degree in Exercise Science from Bloomsburg University in Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania. She then went on to Ohio University where she earned her Master of Science in sports medicine. From that point, she worked in that specific area for 10 years before going back for a master’s in prosthetics and orthotics from Northwestern University. In high school, she played field hockey, basketball and softball, in undergrad she played tennis and was on the crew team while in graduate school.

Although she calls teaching her “perfect job,” Quinlan didn’t think it was in her future. She was working as a prosthetist/orthotist at Hanger Clinic in Jenkintown, Pennsylvania, a job she really enjoyed, when the Salus opportunity came up.

When she’s not concentrating on orthotics and prosthetics, Quinlan likes to work out, work in her flower garden and spend time with her husband, Keith, and stepson.
