- Collaborate with PTAs and other team members to support continuity of care and strong patient outcomes
- Progress treatment plans based on each patient’s response, goals, and functional improvements
- Continue growing clinically through mentorship, team collaboration, and exposure to specialty treatment areas
- Have a real voice in patient care, clinical collaboration, and how your patients progress
