With trying to cram as much information about neurology and orthopedics into my students heads this last month, I have often wondered how much they are actually retaining. This week after lecture, we have been going to see some patients all together to evaluate and treat. It was my 'ta-daa!' moment of the week. They were evaluating a patient with a stroke and coming up with how the patient had Brocca's aphasia, visual neglect and all these other things that I had taught them in lecture and from doing labs. They were remembering AND putting it to practice! I have about a month and a half with them before they take tests and graduate in August with their physical therapy assistant certificate. I'm becoming a proud teacher!
