SLU PT Clinical Site Spotlight at Concentra Medical Center in St.
Louis, Missouri
By Claire Angus (SLU DPT Class of 2023)
Concentra is an outpatient urgent care with physical therapy
services. Most of the patient population
is worker's compensation. I have learned
a lot about how worker's compensation operates and how to progress patients so
they can safely return to work. I have been able to improve my skills and
clinical reasoning by working with many different patients under the guidance
of my Clinical Instructor and SLU PT Alum, Brianne Ernst. She has taught me how
to be an independent thinker and how to have confidence in my decisions while
treating patients. She is always willing
to spend extra time reviewing exercise plans and patient cases. Brianne shows pride in the physical therapy
profession and has been a role model for me as I advance as a student physical
therapist.
Thank you to Brianne for sharing your knowledge with me as I
begin my professional journey and for pushing be to be a better thinker and
clinician!

University Program in Physical Therapy students featuring their clinical site
and their clinical instructors. The number, quality, and diversity of clinical
instruction are major assets for the SLU PT Program
