Students at RVMC Rehab

The past 12 months have been good for us in terms of hosting students from the therapy professions. Here's the statistics for numbers of rotations:

  • Physical Therapy: 14
  • Physical Therapist Assistant: 1
  • Occupational Therapy: 2

This is something to be proud of! Especially considering that it was just a few years ago that we had zero rotations. And it speaks very well for our therapists who take on the additional burden (and rewards) of mentoring these students.

Here's Lindsey with her final presentation after 2 months on the Inpatient Rehabilitation Center.


It's also nice that we have such a wide variety of schools sending students to us. Here's the list:
  • Eastern Washington University
  • Pima Medical Institute (Seattle)
  • Nebraska
  • PAC/Stockton
  • PAC/FG
  • U. of Vermont
  • Pacific U (Hillsboro)
  • New Mexico
  • Samuel Merritt U.
  • U Washington
  • UVM
  • Utah
It's so good to experience the energy they bring to our department, as well as to bring some of them on board as employees upon graduation.
