To move forward in non-clinical opportunities in UNC Health Care’s pediatric therapy department by continuing ongoing efforts of developing an all-encompassing pediatric rehabilitation program with the pediatric therapy teams throughout UNC Health Care to provide quality skilled therapy interventions in all phases of therapy, throughout the triangle area and state of North Carolina.
Why I serve as a mentor
To provide clinical based knowledge, firsthand experience, and hands on guidance to promote skilled development, as well as, ongoing education in the importance of the ever evolving interventions and learning opportunities in the pediatric therapy based setting. I also serve as a mentor to promote continued learning for myself by embracing the knowledge set of the resident to teach me something, and in turn this also gives the resident an opportunity to boost their own confidence in the knowledge base.
