Vision
As stated in our program’s Vision: “We will develop extraordinary clinical practitioners, who will serve, lead, and inspire”. In order to achieve this we have a thriving clinical education program focused on early immersion in the clinic along with a variety of clinical settings for long term clinical placements. There are the four main areas in which our students will be exposed to the clinic and practice:
Early Mobility Program at Northeast Georgia Medical Center:
Through a collaborative effort with Northeast Georgia’s largest healthcare provider, Northeast Georgia Medical Center, students will be part of an early mobility team to provide mobilization for the patients of the hospital. This program will not only provide important hands on experience for our students, but will also be a vital service for the patients and staff. Early clinical immersion with real patient experiences will also enhance classroom learning. Students will be an integral part of this innovative and collaborative effort to improve the quality of life for the patients of Northeast Georgia Medical Center.
Full-time clinical internships
Students will complete 30 weeks of full-time clinical internships in a variety of settings. Settings include: outpatient rehabilitation, inpatient rehab, acute care, and sports medicine. We also have specialty clinical settings in pediatrics, neurobehavioral and sports medicine.
