I went into Rockhurst today to meet my new graduate assistant. She is a first year physical therapy student. I am having her work on a really cool project that I will write about on my next blog. She will be helping me with my physical therapy ontology. This is a work that has been years in the making with the contributions of all of the students whom I have taught here at Rockhurst (exciting stuff...stay tuned).
I just have to mention about the PT Faculty at Rockhurst...most of the faculty are off contract like me but guess who I saw...Don Hoover, Jean Hiebert, Catherine Thompson, I heard (I didn't actually see him) Jim Dronberger, and I noticed that Brian McKiernan was in his office. Granted some of these professors are teaching during the summer but 60% of those who are not teaching were on campus. Talk about dedication!! I really must say how proud I am to be part of such a great group of dedicated Physical Therapists/Teachers. They are all great and I feel lucky to know each of them.
I had a conversation with Don Hoover who is putting together a ROCKING motion analysis lab. He has worked hard along with Brian, Jean, and Mohamed Kohia to get this state-of-the-art lab put together. If you have a chance, stop by and check it out-- it is going to be sweet. I can't wait to start to playing with it--I mean do "research."
