The three-week distributed academic block for the 20 Northern Rural Cohort (NRC) physical therapy students wrapped up recently at University of Northern BC in Prince George. The NRC students shared lectures and practical labs with the Vancouver-based students through video-conferencing. The program was profiled in the Prince George Citizen newspaper as well as the CKPG News. Click on the news links below as they show the wonderful enthusiasm for the program by the students and the Northern community. Thanks to Instructor Robin Roots who coordinates the Clinical Education of the NRC.
