I joined what felt like every club at SLU but only stuck with a few. I was a shift volunteer in the Billiken Bounty pantry and knew I wanted to do something more to make an impact on campus. </div><div><br /></div><div>Billiken Bounty is an on-campus food pantry run by students for students with the mission of alleviating food insecurity among Saint Louis University students and spreading awareness and education about food insecurity. We pride ourselves on privacy, professionalism, respect, and dignity. We do not collect personal information from our clients and require no proof of need which helps eliminate some barriers to accessing a food pantry. We seek to provide pantry staples and meal items that are healthy that college students actually want to eat while accommodating to dietary restrictions the best we can.</div><div><br /></div><div>We started in 2018 when a Saint Louis University student recognized the need for a food pantry. Based on the original research done, it was determined that a shopping model would work the best, and that is what is still implemented today. We were first located in the BSC but with increased growth we have moved to a much larger space in the CGC. Since opening we have also spread to a location at SLU Law and are in the works of finding a location on South Campus. </div><div><br /></div><div>When considering how to increase my involvement and impact, I took the leap and applied for co-chair and got it and I have grown so much ever since. My role as co-chair is to serve as the main point of communication for all things pantry related. I stay in contact with community partners, other university pantries, and faculty of SLU to answer any questions that may come up and start projects we deem beneficial to the pantry. I also serve as the main meeting facilitator between members of our e-board, SLU faculty, and volunteers. </div><div><br /></div><div>This position has allowed me to have conversations I would have never had over topics that had never crossed my mind before. I have learned the importance of being a good listener during a conversation, keeping an open mind, and respecting everyone because you never know what their situation is. Time management is another skill I have learned. Trying to balance school, work, and running the pantry can be difficult at times but knowing when to ask for help has been key for me. We have members of our executive board designated to certain roles and they are amazing at making sure everything is running smoothly. </div><div><br /></div><div>Since the Spring of 2022 we have had an influx of growth and are in need of donations. Last semester we had 1,500 client visits and almost 10,000 items left the pantry. We collect all donations as long as they are not expired. Our most popular items include pasta and pasta sauce, rice and beans, household items such as paper towels and tide pods, hygiene products, and condiments.

It almost felt like a magical world and opportunity that was out of reach. When I was considering SLU as a freshman, I didn’t know much about how I wanted my college experience to go, however I did want the opportunity to go abroad. SLU prides itself as a school that gives students the opportunity to go abroad, but never would I have been able to predict how true this turned out to be. The application process was pretty seamless. With it being built into the physical therapy program, the opportunity presented itself on a silver platter. There were a multitude of resources such as student panels, informational meetings, application aid sessions, etc. to kickstart the process, and just before I knew it, I was on an 8 hour flight across the country to Madrid.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #242424; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">My experience abroad exceeded my expectations in so many ways. Everyone always raves about being abroad and all its takeaways and in my case it completely lived up to the hype. It's hard to sum up my time because so many memories were made, however I will try to do my best by stating the places I visited, my overall highlights, and the things I learned. </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #242424; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Places I visited</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #242424; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">: Madrid Spain, Zaragoza Spain, Toledo Spain, Sevilla Spain, Ibiza Spain, Tenerife Spain, Marseille France, Paris France, Florence Italy, Cinque Terre Italy, Milan Italy, Dublin Ireland, Galway Ireland, Geneva Switzerland and Interlaken Switzerland.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #242424; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Exploring all those new places was incredible. Each place had something so different to offer whether it be culture, cuisine, geography, tradition, language, art etc. I was able to make pasta in Italy, snorkel with my friends in Tenerife, paraglide in Switzerland, hike in the South of France, club in Madrid and many other notable experiences. My overwhelming feeling throughout this entire journey was gratitude. I was so incredibly gratuitous to see the world and literally put my toe in the water of all these places you dream about going. </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #242424; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Overall highlights</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #242424; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">: I tried to fully integrate myself into the culture of Madrid because it was in fact my home for 4 months and I wanted to live out my time to the full potential. One of the ways I was able to do this was stepping outside of the circle of friends I came with and SLU. I have played lacrosse for many years now and I deeply missed it when I was in Madrid, so I decided to change that. I emailed the athletic director at SLU Madrid and he expressed that SLU itself didn’t have a team but he gave me the email for Madrid’s club lacrosse team. I sent over an email, and I can safely say it was one of the best decisions I have ever made. I remember being terrified to attend the first practice. Me, an American, with none of my lacrosse equipment, not many Spanish speaking skills, knowing nobody, showing up to a field alone in the middle of Spain filled with the Madrid lacrosse team members- I was petrified. I remember calling my Dad in a bit of a panic telling him how nervous I was. He urged me to stop being a scaredy cat and that I wouldn’t regret it. I went on to play with this team the remainder of my time abroad and I met some of the best people. Guys and girls from all over the world gathered together bound by the love and passion for the game. We played in games and I attended a tournament with them in Zaragoza. I bonded closely with two of my teammates and we hung out all the time. We would watch movies, go out to eat, go to markets, shop and Irene even taught me how to make authentic Spanish Tortilla. I miss the friends I made dearly but I am so happy I had the time with them that I did. We were all so different coming from different backgrounds which meant we were able to learn from each other and expand our horizons. Even though I miss my Madrid friends so much it only gives me reason to go back, and some of them even proposed coming to the US to visit me!</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #242424; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Things I learned</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #242424; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">: Being abroad is so much more than an elongated vacation. I learned so much about the world, about myself, about how to interact with people, about what's truly important in life and about what gives me meaning and purpose. I acquired so many life skills that can’t be taught in school like how to take public transportation in different countries, hacks on how to travel most efficiently and how to be responsible. I have so much more knowledge that is added to my repertoire and I think most importantly I was exposed to a wider spectrum of people. This increased my capacity for empathy, understanding and open-mindedness. I could go on and on about my experience, but the main point to drive home is that I am so thankful I went and I couldn't recommend spending time abroad enough! It truly does deserve all the praise surrounding it and if you are able to seize the opportunity, I say seize it!</span></p><div><span style="background-color: white; color: #242424; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></div><script type="text/javascript">

Our Spirit Week kicked off on November 11th with the coveted Turkey Bowl flag football tournament between cohorts! With hard fought efforts and trying to defrost during half-times, our PY1 students came out on top and blew everyone away as an underdog! On Monday, our dress-down days started and continued all week including class colors (Mon), Jerseys/Sport (Tues), Groutfit (Wed), PJ’s - our students favorite day (Thurs), and SLU Spirit Wear (Fri)! To wrap up the week we introduced a new event beginning this year, o</span><span style="font-family: "Open Sans";">ur Pie-A-Professor event </span><span style="font-family: Open Sans;">and boy was it exciting and added a bit of competition between students and staff funding the competition! Our students and even our professors constantly donated money and throughout the week the Top 3 professors was constantly changing and our lucky Top 3 professors that were pied were Dr.’s Kim Levenhagen, Barb Yemm, and Ann Hayes. All the funds we raised throughout the week directly benefitted the Foundation for Physical Therapy Research, a fund that is very near and dear to our Program! Overall, our students and staff raised $340 to be donated! It was another successful Spirit Week and I know our students and staff are already counting down the days till next year!</span><span class="Apple-converted-space" style="font-family: "Open Sans";"> </span></p><p class="p1" style="font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Poppins;"><br /></span></p><p class="p1" style="font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Poppins;"><b>To view our video recap visit our Instagram</b>: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CmxTyeeNBr8/">https://www.instagram.com/p/CmxTyeeNBr8/ </a></span></p><script type="text/javascript">

SLU Physical Therapy Student Association, SLU Athletic Training Society, and SLU Dietetics Association are partnering with Lift For Life Gym! Lift for Life Gym is a non-for-profit organization that provides a safe after school environment for at-risk St. Louis City children, where they can participate in group workouts, complete homework, and eat dinner each evening. Lift for Life Gym provides an enriching environment that promotes holistic health and wellbeing for St. Louis Youth. Through this partnership, students from SLU’s Physical Therapy, Athletic Training, and Nutrition and Dietetics programs will be in the community with these youth, providing education on safe exercise and stretching techniques, nutrition, and tips for managing wounds and injuries, as well as introducing the gym members to these Allied Health Professions! We hope that this program results in a longstanding partnership between Lift for Life Gym and Saint Louis University and cannot wait for it to take place! Thank you to all that worked on the planning, writing, and presentation of this grant, we appreciate your hard work, and thank you SLU for selecting our proposal out of 55 other applicants!</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #262626; font-family: -apple-system, "system-ui", "Segoe UI", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"> </span></div><script type="text/javascript">

My experiences in the first 2 months have already made in impact on how I present myself as a physical therapist. Being a resident is a unique, explorative, humbling, but rewarding experience. It has allowed me to discover where my passions lie within the field of PT. It has fostered curiosity and allowed for me to focus on my role as a lifelong learner. It has also opened up different opportunities as a PT besides direct patient care that I had not considered at this point in my career. </span><span class="EOP SCXO185260264 BCX0" color="windowtext" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; line-height: 19px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text;"> </span></span></p><p class="Paragraph SCXO185260264 BCX0" lang="EN-US" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; background-color: transparent; color: windowtext; font-kerning: none; margin: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; user-select: text; vertical-align: baseline;" xml:lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="EOP SCXO185260264 BCX0" color="windowtext" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; line-height: 19px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text;"><br /></span></span></p></div><div class="OutlineElement Ltr SCXO185260264 BCX0" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; background-color: white; clear: both; cursor: text; direction: ltr; margin: 0px; overflow: visible; padding: 0px; position: relative; user-select: text;"><p class="Paragraph SCXO185260264 BCX0" lang="EN-US" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; background-color: transparent; color: windowtext; font-kerning: none; margin: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; user-select: text; vertical-align: baseline;" xml:lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="TextRun SCXO185260264 BCX0" color="windowtext" data-contrast="auto" lang="EN-US" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; font-variant-ligatures: none; line-height: 19px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text;" xml:lang="EN-US">It can be overwhelming going into a 16-month residency program, and now with only 14 months left I can say that it is still a little overwhelming. I have learned a lot about myself in the few short months I have been involved with the program. I have learned that I enjoy being an educator, where my passions within PT lie, and that I have so much room to grow as a clinician. Being in a Women's Health Residency Program already puts me in such a niche area of PT, but within that niche there are so many routes to go and so much to learn, which I love. The field of women's and pelvic health is constantly evolving with the new research coming out. The program has worked with me to create an environment where I am able to explore my interests and help me to figure out what I want to do with my career. </span><span class="EOP SCXO185260264 BCX0" color="windowtext" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; line-height: 19px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text;"> </span></span></p></div><div class="OutlineElement Ltr SCXO185260264 BCX0" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; background-color: white; clear: both; cursor: text; direction: ltr; margin: 0px; overflow: visible; padding: 0px; position: relative; user-select: text;"><p class="Paragraph SCXO185260264 BCX0" lang="EN-US" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; background-color: transparent; color: windowtext; font-kerning: none; margin: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; user-select: text; vertical-align: baseline;" xml:lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="TextRun SCXO185260264 BCX0" color="windowtext" data-contrast="auto" lang="EN-US" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; font-variant-ligatures: none; line-height: 19px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text;" xml:lang="EN-US">The term "lifelong learner" is heavily applied to my experiences as a resident.

To some, this means “sweater weather” or “pumpkin spiced lattes” or “All Hallows’ Eve”, but to me, it means I have been an orthopedic physical therapy resident for a little over two months now. Thus far, my time spent within the SLU-SSM Health Physical Therapy Orthopedic Residency Program has been all about progress and growth. Being a new graduate and transitioning from a student role to a role as an independent clinician can be intimidating, but fortunately for me, I have the support of the residency program.</span><span class="EOP SCXO231318122 BCX0" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; color: windowtext; line-height: 19px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text;"> </span></span></p><p class="Paragraph SCXO231318122 BCX0" lang="EN-US" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; background-color: transparent; color: windowtext; font-kerning: none; margin: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; user-select: text; vertical-align: baseline;" xml:lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="EOP SCXO231318122 BCX0" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; color: windowtext; line-height: 19px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text;"><br /></span></span></p><p class="Paragraph SCXO231318122 BCX0" lang="EN-US" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; background-color: transparent; color: windowtext; font-kerning: none; margin: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; user-select: text; vertical-align: baseline;" xml:lang="EN-US"><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> <span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span> </span><span> </span><img border="0" data-original-height="470" data-original-width="940" height="160" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQgFDw_O6VKp8PbwSaqjOJjeiXgMcdVRykH-2WxvZnt4T4U5Lamf_jZsDOoC4iSl7iF4LI_n2UDcchbkABbwFyivUZMz48nr-dyHsVmvCzUK3A9X1bCQx3f_PocQPvO-wEmEZFARafnE1_XtKkTzAhvRiBA5VV0w8avcPetNAwB9uz7zUV-DElzBL2Rw/s320/pumpkin.jpg" width="320" /></p></div><div class="OutlineElement Ltr SCXO231318122 BCX0" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; background-color: white; clear: both; cursor: text; direction: ltr; margin: 0px; overflow: visible; padding: 0px; position: relative; user-select: text;"><p class="Paragraph SCXO231318122 BCX0" lang="EN-US" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; background-color: transparent; color: windowtext; font-kerning: none; margin: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; user-select: text; vertical-align: baseline;" xml:lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="TextRun SCXO231318122 BCX0" data-contrast="auto" lang="EN-US" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; color: windowtext; font-variant-ligatures: none !important; line-height: 19px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text;" xml:lang="EN-US"><span class="NormalTextRun SCXO231318122 BCX0" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; background-color: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text;"></span></span><span class="EOP SCXO231318122 BCX0" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; color: windowtext; line-height: 19px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text;"> </span></span></p></div><div class="OutlineElement Ltr SCXO231318122 BCX0" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; background-color: white; clear: both; cursor: text; direction: ltr; margin: 0px; overflow: visible; padding: 0px; position: relative; user-select: text;"><p class="Paragraph SCXO231318122 BCX0" lang="EN-US" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; background-color: transparent; color: windowtext; font-kerning: none; margin: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; user-select: text; vertical-align: baseline;" xml:lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="TextRun SCXO231318122 BCX0" data-contrast="auto" lang="EN-US" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; color: windowtext; font-variant-ligatures: none !important; line-height: 19px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text;" xml:lang="EN-US">My experience two months into the residency program has already provided me with various opportunities in and outside of the clinic. Currently, I am employed at the SSM Health Physical Therapy Outpatient Clinic in Edwardsville, IL where I treat a wide variety of patients with diverse orthopedic conditions. I not only treat patients, but I also participate in didactics coursework and assist with lab instruction within the SLU’s entry-level DPT program on a weekly basis. Other opportunities provided to me consists of participation in pro bono services to the Saint Louis community and attending seminars that has allowed me to gain further expert knowledge and network with other professionals within my profession.</span><span class="EOP SCXO231318122 BCX0" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; color: windowtext; line-height: 19px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text;"> </span></span></p></div><div class="OutlineElement Ltr SCXO231318122 BCX0" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; background-color: white; clear: both; cursor: text; direction: ltr; margin: 0px; overflow: visible; padding: 0px; position: relative; user-select: text;"><p class="Paragraph SCXO231318122 BCX0" lang="EN-US" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; background-color: transparent; color: windowtext; font-kerning: none; margin: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; user-select: text; vertical-align: baseline;" xml:lang="EN-US"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGHkbDV07G6mwx-I9Zb8_tzk3w8zHc1A_KevFiMiQ99ScEOYM4yj-m2WbovCMJjVnIOYfBQxgI2VvQpQISgz6QYK-Izd8fWIs7fsARZ8xSdrMOIKyndwcOBXSuhnmozXCvwL8W1tEUz1_LM3ceFSZ7IwPk78csnjT9WOokjj7byz0e_2l6zccaIFW8/s1505/residency-logo.jpg" style="color: #3778cd; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center; text-decoration-line: none;"><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><img border="0" data-original-height="385" data-original-width="1505" height="103" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGHkbDV07G6mwx-I9Zb8_tzk3w8zHc1A_KevFiMiQ99ScEOYM4yj-m2WbovCMJjVnIOYfBQxgI2VvQpQISgz6QYK-Izd8fWIs7fsARZ8xSdrMOIKyndwcOBXSuhnmozXCvwL8W1tEUz1_LM3ceFSZ7IwPk78csnjT9WOokjj7byz0e_2l6zccaIFW8/w400-h103/residency-logo.jpg" style="background: transparent; border-radius: 0px; border: 1px solid transparent; box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2) 0px 0px 0px; padding: 8px; position: relative;" width="400" /></a></p></div><div class="OutlineElement Ltr SCXO231318122 BCX0" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; background-color: white; clear: both; cursor: text; direction: ltr; margin: 0px; overflow: visible; padding: 0px; position: relative; user-select: text;"><p class="Paragraph SCXO231318122 BCX0" lang="EN-US" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; background-color: transparent; color: windowtext; font-kerning: none; margin: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; user-select: text; vertical-align: baseline;" xml:lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="TextRun SCXO231318122 BCX0" data-contrast="auto" lang="EN-US" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; color: windowtext; font-variant-ligatures: none !important; line-height: 19px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text;" xml:lang="EN-US">Besides the opportunities above, one unique component that this program has to offer is the amount and level of mentoring that is provided.

There was such a clear emphasis on patient-centered care, and I felt that above all I graduated as a well-trained, empathetic clinician. From the beginning of undergrad, we were encouraged to be ‘men and women for others,’ and that truly showed throughout all 6 years I was there. These values have stayed with me as I move through my career, keeping the patient at the center of why I do what I do. For me, this means striving to deliver quality, patient-centered evidence that will ultimately improve the lives of patients.<br /><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYg5NGxyUNbVlkW_KhKm9TigUlCyEyUsuA-wj_h_-FoF00nL-UzlNkQT_HkQ5_5Nwau7NYeXzWhcseAstV-4EZDVc3A-TN3nwjW7Nt_WcOJg0Eht3QBTJjGx9wZmENAucqdep9LAAayWzYv1b_TzS6VBJNZj0swANJzpkwkplf4fwGgOFuL7vaS9F4/s4032/IMG_2751.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYg5NGxyUNbVlkW_KhKm9TigUlCyEyUsuA-wj_h_-FoF00nL-UzlNkQT_HkQ5_5Nwau7NYeXzWhcseAstV-4EZDVc3A-TN3nwjW7Nt_WcOJg0Eht3QBTJjGx9wZmENAucqdep9LAAayWzYv1b_TzS6VBJNZj0swANJzpkwkplf4fwGgOFuL7vaS9F4/w400-h300/IMG_2751.jpeg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div><i>What advice do you have for students getting ready to graduate with their DPT?</i></div><div><br />Be open-minded, keep learning, and put yourself out there. A lot of the experiences I’ve been involved in after graduating from SLU PT have been because of conversations I’ve had at conferences, cold-call emails I sent, and being open to new opportunities. We have such an amazing profession and there are so many different places within PT to make a difference. The center of our profession is patient care, but there is also research, residency training, education, advocacy efforts with regulatory agencies, and so much more. Without all these pieces our profession would not continue to be promoted within the public health space. Talk to people you see in positions that interest you and stay flexible- you never know where your career path will take you.</div><div><br /><i>Is there anything else you would like to share?</i><br /><br />My experiences at SLU set the course for my career, and I am so thankful for the faculty there who guided me as I was navigating my way through PT school. It was because of early mentorship in my time there that I had the vision to apply to do my PhD and move towards the clinical research career I find so much joy in today. <br /><br /><b><i>This is one of several posts featuring SLU PT Alumni experiences.

I'm especially looking forward to working with the Professional Year 3 (PY3) students in delivering pelvic health-specific didactic and lab material in their musculoskeletal curriculum. I also have access to all the resources SLU has to offer to create a scholarly product throughout my residency with potential to publish my finished product.</span><span class="EOP BCX0 SCXO158323862" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; color: windowtext; line-height: 18px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text;"> </span></span></p></div><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"><div class="OutlineElement Ltr BCX0 SCXO158323862" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; background-color: white; clear: both; cursor: text; direction: ltr; margin: 0px; overflow: visible; padding: 0px; position: relative; user-select: text;"><p class="Paragraph BCX0 SCXO158323862" lang="EN-US" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; background-color: transparent; color: windowtext; font-kerning: none; margin: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; user-select: text; vertical-align: baseline;" xml:lang="EN-US"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGHkbDV07G6mwx-I9Zb8_tzk3w8zHc1A_KevFiMiQ99ScEOYM4yj-m2WbovCMJjVnIOYfBQxgI2VvQpQISgz6QYK-Izd8fWIs7fsARZ8xSdrMOIKyndwcOBXSuhnmozXCvwL8W1tEUz1_LM3ceFSZ7IwPk78csnjT9WOokjj7byz0e_2l6zccaIFW8/s1505/residency-logo.jpg" style="color: #3778cd; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-decoration-line: none;"><img border="0" data-original-height="385" data-original-width="1505" height="103" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGHkbDV07G6mwx-I9Zb8_tzk3w8zHc1A_KevFiMiQ99ScEOYM4yj-m2WbovCMJjVnIOYfBQxgI2VvQpQISgz6QYK-Izd8fWIs7fsARZ8xSdrMOIKyndwcOBXSuhnmozXCvwL8W1tEUz1_LM3ceFSZ7IwPk78csnjT9WOokjj7byz0e_2l6zccaIFW8/w400-h103/residency-logo.jpg" style="background: transparent; border-radius: 0px; border: 1px solid transparent; box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2) 0px 0px 0px; padding: 8px; position: relative;" width="400" /></a></div><p></p></div></blockquote></blockquote></blockquote><div class="OutlineElement Ltr BCX0 SCXO158323862" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; background-color: white; clear: both; cursor: text; direction: ltr; margin: 0px; overflow: visible; padding: 0px; position: relative; user-select: text;"><p class="Paragraph BCX0 SCXO158323862" lang="EN-US" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; background-color: transparent; color: windowtext; font-kerning: none; margin: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; user-select: text; vertical-align: baseline;" xml:lang="EN-US"><br /></p></div><div class="OutlineElement Ltr BCX0 SCXO158323862" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; background-color: white; clear: both; cursor: text; direction: ltr; margin: 0px; overflow: visible; padding: 0px; position: relative; user-select: text;"><p class="Paragraph BCX0 SCXO158323862" lang="EN-US" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; background-color: transparent; color: windowtext; font-kerning: none; margin: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; user-select: text; vertical-align: baseline;" xml:lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="TextRun SCXO158323862 BCX0" data-contrast="auto" lang="EN-US" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; color: windowtext; font-variant-ligatures: none !important; line-height: 18px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text;" xml:lang="EN-US"><span class="NormalTextRun SCXO158323862 BCX0" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; background-color: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text;">I have a true passion for pelvic health, and some of my favorite conditions to treat include urinary dysfunction and pelvic pain.

Though it has just begun, in such a short window of time I have already experienced many different relative avenues for growth in the profession of physical therapy. What makes this experience so special is the unique way the SLU SSM Health PT Residency Program is tailored to the resident's individual choices. In a stark contrast to formal PT graduate school this program provides you the learner with any and all opportunities you might wish to pursue during this year long process. </div><br /><div>The process begins just like that and the introspection needed in the beginning requires far more energy than anything I have experienced up unto this point. It's daunting to have to decide what path you may take, but that is what is enjoyable about it. You get to decide. You get to choose. You get to be the writer, editor, and publisher of the journey that is unfolding That is the fun part of the process, as during this short time it provides a lens to see yourself grow in many different ways as a professional, some in which 3 short months ago I wouldn't have even considered. </div><div><br /></div><div> As my current journey begins my path draws me to the education side of things. The avenue of teaching has always been something that I've been drawn towards. The SLU SSM Health PT Residency Program offered many opportunities to get involved in different aspects of higher education. As try to take hold of all these incredible situations I can't help but take a step back and look at things from a different perspective. To give reference I am a previous graduate from the SLU PT program and have had the privilege to come under the tutelage of many of the previous residents that come before me. Now I certainly cannot say I was the brightest student in my class but there is something mildly surreal about being able to see the full circle of the education process from the beginning as a freshman in college to your last years in graduate school and now onto teaching. What impresses me the most is the amount of thought and intention that goes into each and every decision made, even of the most minute details there are dozens of incredible minds constantly changing molding and modifying every aspect of the program to best fit the needs of the students. Being a part of something like that truly gives meaning and drive to what I'd like to pursue in my professional growth. </div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4yzeFXtBr2BJ928lKB3PU0jrpAj2OLyABEQ6_sDZPUrAJ4J1fRJQX5ZtM59bZ83xhyoULUpopUiOnefbNawrxN6B_655KUWWNKnEZXggwEYDyWGt_RrqGCR1lczluhM_-b-qdfsoBxdNLzYORTZd1_ZBmir7oNRUTh_HSAI-TovebwyJL2sVrYIFs/s256/SSM%20Health%20PT%20logo.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="256" data-original-width="256" height="256" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4yzeFXtBr2BJ928lKB3PU0jrpAj2OLyABEQ6_sDZPUrAJ4J1fRJQX5ZtM59bZ83xhyoULUpopUiOnefbNawrxN6B_655KUWWNKnEZXggwEYDyWGt_RrqGCR1lczluhM_-b-qdfsoBxdNLzYORTZd1_ZBmir7oNRUTh_HSAI-TovebwyJL2sVrYIFs/s1600/SSM%20Health%20PT%20logo.jpg" width="256" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Another facet of this program is the emphasis on clinical excellence, and provides you with the course work and training necessary for you to pursue that. One thing everyone starting in a field starts to realize is that what you learn in school only grazes the surface of what is potentially out there to pursue. What this Residency Program does provide -- diverse scope of educational material as possible, allowing you to view situations and treatment from the perspective of a variety of different schools of thought. The program also benefits from the ideas of my fellow resident colleagues, who all have a variety of different backgrounds when it comes to the schooling we all received. This allows for a diversity throughout the learning process of our didactic material which only incites a higher level of thinking an reasoning during these courses. Through this and the mentoring sessions each week I'm constantly being pushed to analyze and adapt my clinical reasoning during my treatments and evaluations, pushing me to be as well rounded of a clinician as possible. </div></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div></div><div>In conclusion, though residencies may not be every PT's primary choice once finishing school, my short experience with the SLU-SSM Health Physical Therapy Orthopedic Residency program has driven and pushed me in ways that I don't think I would of ever found on my own accord. I look forward to the challenges that I will face in the future and would encourage all PT's out there to challenge themselves and their knowledge base to be better more well-rounded clinicians </div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGHkbDV07G6mwx-I9Zb8_tzk3w8zHc1A_KevFiMiQ99ScEOYM4yj-m2WbovCMJjVnIOYfBQxgI2VvQpQISgz6QYK-Izd8fWIs7fsARZ8xSdrMOIKyndwcOBXSuhnmozXCvwL8W1tEUz1_LM3ceFSZ7IwPk78csnjT9WOokjj7byz0e_2l6zccaIFW8/s1505/residency-logo.jpg" style="color: #3778cd; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-decoration-line: none;"><img border="0" data-original-height="385" data-original-width="1505" height="103" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGHkbDV07G6mwx-I9Zb8_tzk3w8zHc1A_KevFiMiQ99ScEOYM4yj-m2WbovCMJjVnIOYfBQxgI2VvQpQISgz6QYK-Izd8fWIs7fsARZ8xSdrMOIKyndwcOBXSuhnmozXCvwL8W1tEUz1_LM3ceFSZ7IwPk78csnjT9WOokjj7byz0e_2l6zccaIFW8/w400-h103/residency-logo.jpg" style="background: transparent; border-radius: 0px; border: 1px solid transparent; box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2) 0px 0px 0px; padding: 8px; position: relative;" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: start;"><i>For more information on the SLU-SSM Health Physical Therapy Orthopedic Residency Program, visit <a href="https://www.slu.edu/doisy/degrees/ssm-residency.php" style="color: #3778cd; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">https://www.slu.edu/doisy/degrees/ssm-residency.php</a> or contact the Residency Program Director, Dr. Chris Sebelski at <a href="mailto:chris.sebelski@health.slu.edu" style="color: #3778cd; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">chris.sebelski@health.slu.edu</a>.</i></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: start;"><i><br /></i></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: start;"><i>For more information on the SLU-SSM Health Physical Therapy Women's Health program, visit <a href="https://www.slu.edu/doisy/degrees/ssm-womens-health-residency.php" style="color: #3778cd; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">https://www.slu.edu/doisy/degrees/ssm-womens-health-residency.php</a> or contact the Residency Program Director, Dr. Jill Imgarten at <a href="mailto:jimgarten@ssm-select.com" style="color: #3778cd; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">jimgarten@ssm-select.com</a> OR the SLU Director of Residency Education, Dr. Chris Sebelski at <a href="mailto:chris.sebelski@health.slu.edu" style="color: #3778cd; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">chris.sebelski@health.slu.edu</a>.</i></div></div><br /><br /></div><script type="text/javascript">

I was particularly drawn to the SLU-SSM Health Physical Therapy Orthopedic Residency because of the seemingly infinite resources and opportunities for growth made available to the residents. The unique partnership between SLU and SSM provides a wide variety of top-notch mentors and clinical sites for continual learning opportunities over the 12 month program. Clinical practice, scholarship (as both a learner and teacher), and leadership are just a few areas I've grown in tremendously in these first two months of residency as a result of the resources and mentorship provided thus far.</span></span></p><p class="Paragraph SCXO175970675 BCX0" lang="EN-US" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent;

The SLU-SSM Physical Therapy Women’s Health Residency Program is only one of 15 accredited physical therapist post licensure residencies to be recognized with this distinction in the United States.</span></p><p></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Established in 2021, the SLU-SSM Physical Therapy Orthopedic Residency Program is a partnership between the SLU Program in Physical Therapy and SSM Physical Therapy for a post-professional residency program in women’s and pelvic health physical therapy. The 16-month residency prepares licensed physical therapists to specialize in evaluating, treating and managing patients who have women’s health, gender health, and/or pelvic health conditions. Brea Rhein, PT, DPT and Alex Lanty, PT, DPT are the members of the inaugural cohort and are on track to graduate in December, 2022. Bri Mulhearn, PT, DPT and Laura Erb, PT, DPT started the program in August 2022 with anticipated graduation in December 2023.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: x-small;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: x-small;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBxwXRooxPT-fR5d9yXQZZNGp79LfewfnG3yOTmuYekgTeiXrVE4vSXJs5j32YYfweJGNR8R5J-h2ZS44nOzeLSyVm2JIxM7bRjC-0HY0LCLBTu_de3gbra839sE1cKoOupNiTBmqd3m9GEkOkhx7MwZAUVfHL1sE_kuqb5mWpMuGT44rlyahTNySc/s2048/BriLaura_8.2022.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="274" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBxwXRooxPT-fR5d9yXQZZNGp79LfewfnG3yOTmuYekgTeiXrVE4vSXJs5j32YYfweJGNR8R5J-h2ZS44nOzeLSyVm2JIxM7bRjC-0HY0LCLBTu_de3gbra839sE1cKoOupNiTBmqd3m9GEkOkhx7MwZAUVfHL1sE_kuqb5mWpMuGT44rlyahTNySc/w366-h274/BriLaura_8.2022.jpg" width="366" /></a></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: x-small;"><span face="Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-size: 10.4px;">Drs.

Friday is the kickoff of Homecoming 2022 at Saint Louis University. For the past 21 years, the Program in Physical Therapy has sponsored Hustle for Your Health. Dr. Cheryl Cavallo was a long-time supporter of Hustle for Your Health (H4YH), coordinating the event for 11 years (pictured above in the middle, green shirt) before losing her courageous battle with cancer in 2013. The faculty and staff have warm and bright memories of Cheryl.</div><div><br /></div><div>Dr. Cavallo is remembered by many as the epitome of professionalism, excellence, and drive. She was a servant leader -- the physical therapist, the faculty member, who was the first to arrive and the last to leave. In the words of Dr. Barb Yemm, “Cheryl was the will of the department.” She led by example and that example was the high bar of excellence. She was clear in her high expectations and standards.

of my clinical experience at Hillside Healthcare International in Punta Gorda,
Belize! The clinic provides free healthcare services to members of the Toledo
district, where 80% of its 30,000 inhabitants are living below the Belizean poverty
line. Through the clinic, I worked with
another SLU PT student, Alysa Janke, SLU faculty member, Carol Beckel, PT, PhD, and the
rehabilitation director, Julia Steiner, PT, to provide physical therapy services. There are less than 20 licensed physical therapists in Belize and Hillside provides the
only physical therapy services in the Toledo district, so this is an incredibly important service that this
scholarship has helped me to offer. <o:p></o:p></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgv_FT8eOebFAEkk8DsA_6sstnBg-UFWautMY3PoOYZW8fenlkAPPtBiPXgp_4iGTiyBG3czFxvFc8pWotdaTmpDAhcxM8y6n8lBLyfmpeJCfd9gyTFJVABo8DEG7IoGRus-dJB4HiUsYWphI0RXe9URv8W9Ov7AYMiVd_54F_R7ac7YUJc31CzBbc81A/s1276/outside%20clinic.png" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="936" data-original-width="1276" height="294" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgv_FT8eOebFAEkk8DsA_6sstnBg-UFWautMY3PoOYZW8fenlkAPPtBiPXgp_4iGTiyBG3czFxvFc8pWotdaTmpDAhcxM8y6n8lBLyfmpeJCfd9gyTFJVABo8DEG7IoGRus-dJB4HiUsYWphI0RXe9URv8W9Ov7AYMiVd_54F_R7ac7YUJc31CzBbc81A/w400-h294/outside%20clinic.png" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Carol Beckel, PT, PhD, Alysa Janke, Julia Steiner, PT, and Emily Redpath outside the outpatient physical therapy center at Hillside</td></tr></tbody></table>
<p class="MsoNormal">Each morning we worked in the outpatient clinic and every afternoon we would travel around the town for home health visits. Providing
home health visits was one of my favorite parts of the experience because it
allowed me to get to know my patient’s values better so that I could form a
strong connection to treat them in the most effective way possible. Additionally, we travelled on mobile clinics to
villages around the Toledo district to provide care in more remote areas. The
mobiles had just started up again after the pandemic during my time in Belize,
so the villages that we traveled to had not been visited by Hillside in over
two years. On the mobiles we evaluated
patients with musculoskeletal complaints, created long-term treatment plans for
them to perform during the time in between our village visits and educated
people on what physical therapy is and how simple changes in their daily
activities can help to alleviate their pain and make them move better. <o:p></o:p></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrnU6M-TS-CmSPll3MntzvoxVMxrBkb0MbLbGfEbtrZ0J0wdXE21Q6MJFKk3pjECSO2MUyZJ8waYrvFhQiFAV8cspD0SfbZwX-134tQELxbxOWhxQWDrbl4JSISBn6danU5L27e-xCvgSGVf_idEzBUqQ_kL6RzWeC8hWBOsbCVFsDYDlLvdU0DgNMfw/s2048/IMG_7515.JPG" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrnU6M-TS-CmSPll3MntzvoxVMxrBkb0MbLbGfEbtrZ0J0wdXE21Q6MJFKk3pjECSO2MUyZJ8waYrvFhQiFAV8cspD0SfbZwX-134tQELxbxOWhxQWDrbl4JSISBn6danU5L27e-xCvgSGVf_idEzBUqQ_kL6RzWeC8hWBOsbCVFsDYDlLvdU0DgNMfw/w400-h300/IMG_7515.JPG" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">The start of our 3 hour drive for a mobile visit to a rural village</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-RY7ruvtH-nZKnSX9qqzKA2O_ysClnTup-N6FAkqT2m12oMF1SLCeSYJUIkKzbLxFywEccLUtVyXqgt_r8pBXY4rWig5SkFpne3HD3Zd6ShFfknQK6l9mMIFCuP-9EbBSMHCyRLvozE7-cYVJ9RDn6Rpooe2vJ0E3S0Ce6uCEgPY-5j0Q0db4U1slkg/s1260/dolores.png" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="933" data-original-width="1260" height="297" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-RY7ruvtH-nZKnSX9qqzKA2O_ysClnTup-N6FAkqT2m12oMF1SLCeSYJUIkKzbLxFywEccLUtVyXqgt_r8pBXY4rWig5SkFpne3HD3Zd6ShFfknQK6l9mMIFCuP-9EbBSMHCyRLvozE7-cYVJ9RDn6Rpooe2vJ0E3S0Ce6uCEgPY-5j0Q0db4U1slkg/w400-h297/dolores.png" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Looking out on the village from the mobile clinic location<br /><br /></td></tr></tbody></table>Another one of my favorite parts about this experience was
the interprofessional care that we were able to provide. On our mobile visits, Alysa
and I co-evaluated patients alongside the medical students and residents. We got to work through patient cases together as
an interprofessional team and ask questions of each other not only on mobiles,
but with many patients at the clinic.
Each student had a different way of treating a patient’s diagnosis, so
it was enlightening to view each patient from each medical professional’s
lenses. It was a great way for Alysa and
I to advocate for physical therapy as well because the medical student and
residents were able to see first hand what we do and how we can help patients.<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8K-_WV4l5EgeUok2VbMslI6nLgvIQXqEY2eB0pJaLMPATNNDDb1fXy5-upebZ3IddZJ-uhysunbFDmpWL600nTE93Gj8CQMcyXh5k0dMKV0-4rm79p-wv0AW6LTphQc8RPt4hpZMUFFeOS-koeBQCa4bDGtG87f58x-hHuRregQoL_xUf09xBpzyCfA/s1267/laguna.png" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="930" data-original-width="1267" height="295" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8K-_WV4l5EgeUok2VbMslI6nLgvIQXqEY2eB0pJaLMPATNNDDb1fXy5-upebZ3IddZJ-uhysunbFDmpWL600nTE93Gj8CQMcyXh5k0dMKV0-4rm79p-wv0AW6LTphQc8RPt4hpZMUFFeOS-koeBQCa4bDGtG87f58x-hHuRregQoL_xUf09xBpzyCfA/w400-h295/laguna.png" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Treatment team of doctors, residents, medical students, pharmacy students and physical therapy students</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQEcD1PXu--4kTmBGuxI4UzzkbsVUWa1WaRZg1f7ZKvHPJKoV_I7y7qNR2khpK1TyZUiXoTpKKjhVgB2lN07KmOd22uSmkwLXBsDd1pcvOmIQGx5vPmw1B6TIpP4p0YI9R1O5fXdjRqVzvCh6tjOKdZBPVzrbuTm3O8IJ04jWSq72azZRD4bEBMU1gTA/s1202/47CD4FF5-FEAE-4D2B-A664-297131C7FE89.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="903" data-original-width="1202" height="301" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQEcD1PXu--4kTmBGuxI4UzzkbsVUWa1WaRZg1f7ZKvHPJKoV_I7y7qNR2khpK1TyZUiXoTpKKjhVgB2lN07KmOd22uSmkwLXBsDd1pcvOmIQGx5vPmw1B6TIpP4p0YI9R1O5fXdjRqVzvCh6tjOKdZBPVzrbuTm3O8IJ04jWSq72azZRD4bEBMU1gTA/w400-h301/47CD4FF5-FEAE-4D2B-A664-297131C7FE89.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">SLU PT students Alysa Janke and Emily Redpath presenting about causes of low back pain to other students</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJzUXp8KZtDIu768a5eM_6lQml__uRVPaRIMnvvlT22JIHWqvqAANQziUPubrwXLHcL3JuwPUDHJysRdNAxp7gyiiT_1jWwzpNr1scB4uj2eV-DVmm3gQPbYgs6V_3_unFPK9wSJIUeqcUPXOYqJhH0Sia-8TO2vg9xxxxG1T4uacFkykBeZGeGexirA/s1270/health%20fair.png" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="841" data-original-width="1270" height="265" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJzUXp8KZtDIu768a5eM_6lQml__uRVPaRIMnvvlT22JIHWqvqAANQziUPubrwXLHcL3JuwPUDHJysRdNAxp7gyiiT_1jWwzpNr1scB4uj2eV-DVmm3gQPbYgs6V_3_unFPK9wSJIUeqcUPXOYqJhH0Sia-8TO2vg9xxxxG1T4uacFkykBeZGeGexirA/w400-h265/health%20fair.png" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Taking blood pressures and blood sugars and educating patients on healthy habits at the monthly health fair</td></tr></tbody></table>
<p class="MsoNormal">Overall, this has been one of the most meaningful
experiences that I have had during my time at SLU. I was pushed out of my comfort zone and feel
that I grew not only as a practitioner, but as a person. This experience challenged my creativity
skills in treating patients to create interventions that did not use typical
resources found in clinics back in the states.
I furthered my love for physical therapy because I saw truly how
impactful it can be to people’s lives, even if they are only coming a few times
a month. Dr. Carol Beckel said it best
upon her departure from the clinic, “A portion of my heart stays behind each
trip.” This rings true for me after returning to campus from this clinical
experience. I will never forget the people that I met on this rotation and I will
always think of the experiences I had in Belize as I move forward in my

My time as a pediatric resident gave me the opportunity to work and learn in a variety of pediatric settings, including outpatient pediatrics, aquatics, the NICU, schools, and inpatient rehab. Since completing my residency education, I have had the opportunity to work in a variety of pediatric settings, including outpatient, schools, and early intervention.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXNxczYJVVgzB2jOyySW92wk9tRGu0XwrY_PgI39OM0f9-CdpnoRlTh__XlC3VfSs_48FRkd2JBjwhdDlsf3vjB28fdMmZfBQF4312TDbgYBLfiMiZmGhyr98ZOEEDnFSdcZ_zJdIVlT5l9RRhm4dOuxw7Rfea_-HL6YYaqEjM6oLPXo_8n6jexkvU/s2511/2015%20SLU_LogoHorizontal_RGB.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="630" data-original-width="2511" height="100" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXNxczYJVVgzB2jOyySW92wk9tRGu0XwrY_PgI39OM0f9-CdpnoRlTh__XlC3VfSs_48FRkd2JBjwhdDlsf3vjB28fdMmZfBQF4312TDbgYBLfiMiZmGhyr98ZOEEDnFSdcZ_zJdIVlT5l9RRhm4dOuxw7Rfea_-HL6YYaqEjM6oLPXo_8n6jexkvU/w400-h100/2015%20SLU_LogoHorizontal_RGB.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div>Research collaborations with colleagues led to the opportunity to present at various conferences over the past several years. Research during my residency education led to presenting at the APTA Pediatric Annual Conference in 2020 on clinical reasoning when working with patients with Spinal Muscular Atrophy. Collaborations with colleagues from the University of Missouri led to presenting at Combined Sections Meeting in 2022 and several manuscript publications, all discussing the results of a nationwide survey about providing pediatric physical therapy services using telehealth during COVID-19. </div><div><br /></div><div>I’m hoping to grow my pediatric team of professionals at Saint Louis University for assisting with both on-campus and/or off-campus lab experiences with the students.
