Graduate Students Visit Magee Rehabilitation Hospital

Eleven graduate OT students traveled to Philadelphia on Saturday , May 4, 2024, with Dr. Deborah Budash for a visit to the Traumatic Brain Injury/Stroke Unit at Magee Rehabilitation Hospital.

Magee is a world class facility and we learn so much with each visit, but what makes the Magee seminars so special is that they are led by alumni of our program. Seen here with our students are OT alumni (back row, center to right) Brian Comly (2009), Amy Fleming (2010), and Natalie Pondok (2012). They were on campus on Friday, May 3, 2024 to prepare students for our on-site visit Saturday. They filmed assessments and interventions with clients for students to view and write notes on, shared assessments and case studies, and arranged for our group to observe treatment sessions with three current patients It was an exceptional day of learning! We are grateful to our alumni who remain so invested in our program and the future of our wonderful profession.
