2nd year Abbey DiSalvo is in the spotlight this week! Her advice: ask your preceptors a lot of questions. They love to share their knowledge. The things you learn from class and textbooks are important, but learning real life situational things helps you become an even better AT!
Student spotlight: Kiara Faulhaber who has great advice for future AT students: throw yourself into your clinical experiences with as much enthusiasm, energy, and curiosity as possible. Every experience is an opportunity to learn about this challenging profession.
