Dr. Blair Saale, Assistant Professor and Assistant Director of Clinical Education
in the Dept of Physical Therapy, has been accepted to the distinguished Parkinson's
Foundation Physical Therapy Faculty Program. This competitive "train the trainer"
program at Boston University improves Parkinson's physical therapy care by training
faculty leaders across the U.S. so they can, in turn, educate physical therapy students.
The intensive course is open to only six PT faculty per site, which allows physical
therapy educators to immerse themselves in learning the latest evidence-based findings
in Parkinson's research and care.
