“Many, many thanks to all the Physical Therapy program faculty who helped with the creation and implementation of a brand new four-week course for our 2nd year Doctor of Physical Therapy students which took the place of their clinical placements that were cancelled. Special shout out to Dr. Jeff Hartman who was integral in the process – not sure what I would have done without you! Lastly, thank you to the CTAC staff for creating amazing “telehealth” learning experiences for our students with your pool of standardized patients. I am so blessed to be a part of this wonderful team!!!” – Jeanne Duncan, PT, DPT, Director of Clinical Education, Doctor of Physical Therapy Program
