I'll be at CSM if anyone is intertested in chatting about @USCBKNPT search- looking for faculty with
teaching expertise in foundational sciences (anatomy, physiology, neuroscience, electrophys) and strong scholarship. https://t.co/UrJgLRuz3z

[USC Physical Therapy @USCBKNPT]

In this retrospective, multisite study, we found considerable variability across sites in the percentage of patients who received PT. This study provides valuable insight about PT treatment for patients with COVID admitted to ICU across the United States.
