Congratulations to Dr. Anne Schneider, whose latest research article has been published in the Pediatric Physical Therapy Journal!

Dr. Schneider’s research assessed the degree of burnout and investigated the connection between burnout and effort-reward imbalance in Early Intervention physical therapy professionals. Dr. Schneider’s scholarship embodies our commitment to supporting lifelong learners by examining the evolving challenges PT graduates will face throughout their professional careers.

Congratulations to Dr. Michael Groman, whose latest research article has been published in the Cardiopulmonary Physical Therapy Journal!
Dr. Groman’s work explored whether forced exhalation was impacted when supplemental expiratory muscle training was added to a program that previously focused on only the re**us abdominus. The information gained is currently driving some of Dr. Groman’s research here at IC. His scholarship exemplifies our commitment to evidence-based practice and student learning.
