Earlier this month, 28 students from the Anderson University School of Physical Therapy Class of 2027 received their white coats in the White Coat Ceremony. This represents their transition between their classroom education and their clinical education. At the end of the ceremony, there was a blessing of the hands as a symbolic gesture, reminding students that their hands should deliver compassionate care.
Starting today, this cohort will complete four 8-week, full-time clinical rotations across the Unites States in a variety of settings such as outpatient clinics, inpatient rehabilitation settings, acute care, pediatrics, skilled nursing facilities, home health, and many other specialized clinicals. During these experiences, they will be working under licensed physical therapists to gain hands-on practice and experience applying classroom knowledge to actual patient care. We are so proud of their hard work and all they have achieved!
