Key Responsibilities Program Development & Clinical Leadership Sets clinical vision and practice standards for the physical therapy program, aligning care protocols with evidence-based guidelines for musculoskeletal injury, occupational rehabilitation, and functional capacity evaluation in workers compensation cases.
