The neurologic and older adult experience is now full in house with the class of 2007. Everyone will have completed their part time experience through our clinic. We are also pleased to offer some full time experiences to our students who may be interested in geriatrics or neurologic physical therapy in the coming years. Our CI’s this year include Heather Galloway, PT, GCS, Angie Robertson, PT, DPT and our recent graduate Billy Thompson, PT, DPT who is now a PhD student in BIOMS.

This January marked the start of our first Geriatric PT Resident. We are excited to have Angie Dorr Robertson come from Montana to join our clinic and work with us as our first resident. She will be participating in varied outside learning experiences during the year to see the gamut of geriatric care and we thank Christiana Care for their support as we develop this experience in their Springside Center and other facilities. If you see her at your clinic, please introduce yourself as a UD graduate!

Our Journal Club continues to meet on the third Tuesday of every month at 8:30 am. We are moving to some other clinics throughout the year, so please visit the website for updates on articles and our meeting locations. Please consider having our journal club at your facility or joining us to discuss clinical care for older adults and patients with neurologic issues
