What Physical Therapy Students are saying about the involvement of residents and fellows in their education:
“The different perspectives and techniques used were very valuable.”
"I personally loved having them be part of our education. It gives a fresh perspective
of someone who is just entering the field along with our professors. Keep them!"
“It was very helpful to have them in the practical portion of MSK on manual therapy!
They were a great resource and gave valuable manual therapy tips that novel SPT’s
would not have noticed. Also, they were very helpful with practical’s and the comprehensive
exam at the end of MSK”
“I liked having them with us as another resource to use! I liked it when they
would show us alternative methods or insight that they have learned in their experience.”
