I am a physical therapy student at Northeastern University looking to get involved in the spinal cord rehab fields. I am starting a co-op program and hopefully working at Boston Medical Center, Mass General Hospital, or Spaulding Rehab Facility. I would love to hear about people's stories and learn more about the field, especially how, as a future therapist, I could improve treatment. This field is truly inspiring especially the strides researchers have made and the vitality of the patients.
