Dr. Anderson’s current role as Director of Clinical education has allowed her to bridge the gap between her passion for orthopedics and clinical practice, and DPT education. She teaches in a variety of physical therapy education courses in the DPT curriculum, with an emphasis on DPT professionalism, foundational skills, clinical reasoning, clinical education courses, orthopedics and musculoskeletal content.
