Anatomy and Physiology - both lecture and lab components

I spent my time here making connections between my understanding of human anatomy and physiology and the way that this knowledge can be applied in the setting of Physical Therapy. This experience also allowed me the opportunity to observe the manner in which several physical therapists interact with patients.
