SLU PT Clinical Site
Spotlight – Advanced Training and Rehab - Jungermann in St. Peters, MO
By Jessica D’Agostino (Class
of 2023)
My first clinical
experience is at Advanced Training & Rehab Jungermann, an outpatient
orthopedic clinic committed to individualized and holistic patient care. I have
learned how to build positive relationships with the patients in the clinic and
have been refining the skills that I have learned through my time at SLU.
Through this experience, I have worked with patients with varying diagnoses and
complexities to assist in returning to their prior level of function. Overall,
my time at ATR has been a rewarding and eye-opening experience under the
supervision of knowledgeable, sympathetic and patient PTs.
Thank you for being an incredible Clinical Instructor, Erica
Friebel, and I have thoroughly enjoyed my first clinical experience under your
expertise. I began my clinical experience lacking confidence in my practical
and conversational skills, but with encouragement from my CI, the difference in
my confidence since the start of my experience is night and day. My CI is kind
and attentive, always ensuring that all of my questions are answered and
encouraging me to be curious. Her dedication to relationship building and her
sharp sense of humor in the clinic make every day exciting, and I aspire to be
even half the clinician that she is. Thank you for an incredible 10 weeks!

quality, and diversity of clinical instruction are major assets for the SLU PT
