Dr. Pat Nelson teaches across the DPT curriculum with an emphasis on musculoskeletal and pelvic health, student professional formation, and putting evidence into practice. Watching students grow into the professionals they desire provides motivation for her teaching.
Inspiring students to learn how to use hands-on techniques, education, and knowledge of the human movement system to improve patients’ holistic health is at the root of what physical therapy education is all about. At Graceland, we do this in a community where all belong.
