STAFF/ TEAMS
There are approximately 30 therapists in the department (including fulltime, float, and wage) as well as a PT aide. There are six physical therapy teams, with one or more senior clinicians in charge of the team. These patient-focused teams are also comprised of multi-disciplinary team members and designed around specific diagnoses. The areas are: Musculoskeletal, Surgical, Neuroscience, Medicine, Heart, and Pediatrics.
Generally, each student is assigned to one team and one experienced clinical instructor during his or her affiliation.
The teams provide physical therapy services throughout the hospital as follows:
MEDICINE
NEUROSCIENCE
HEART
MUSCULOSKELETAL
SURGERY
PEDIATRICS
