As the flowers begin to bloom and the grass turns greener,
springtime brings forth a reminder to me of the beauty of change. We all know that change can sometimes be
scary and intimidating; however, it is also critical that we continually evolve
with new insight that we have gained. I
am currently away from the University on sabbatical and brainstorming some
potential revisions to our DPT clinical education curriculum. We already have a strong clinical curriculum,
due largely in part to your valuable contributions as our clinical
partners. However, healthcare and
education are constantly changing and we must make sure that we continue to be responsive
and focused on the future. Through my
sabbatical work, I have enjoyed talking with many of our clinical educators about
what is important to you in choosing to work with our DPT students and how we
may be able to do things even better. I
am extremely grateful for the feedback I have received thus far, and I hope that
I can continue to talk to many of you in the coming months. If you have any ideas for us regarding our
clinical curriculum, I welcome them!
Please don’t hesitate to reach out with your suggestions or if you have
any questions at any time. I am
available via email at k.vitak@csuohio.edu or via phone at
216-687-3903.
Thanks for all you continue to do!
