3 - Health

I took a three-year program at the University of Manitoba. At the end of each year, we had a clinical placement ranging from five to 16 weeks. Each placement helped me use the skills I had acquired that year. I learned about different aspects of physiotherapy in hospitals and private practice settings.

The first year I worked with people who had chronic lung conditions and heart problems. The second year I was dealing with muscle and joint issues. The third year I worked with people who had spinal cord injuries, strokes and neuromuscular problems.
