Our first-year MSAT students had a great first day of classes! 💙🐻💛

This semester, our students are learning about Lower Body Evaluations, Emergency Care, and Therapeutic Modalities. They’ll continue building their clinical knowledge and hands-on skills in the classroom while also beginning new clinical rotations, giving them opportunities to apply what they’re learning in real-world patient care settings.

We’re excited to see our students put their knowledge and skills into practice as they continue their journey through the MSAT program!
