The Tidewater District awarded Erica Searfoss, PT, DPT (ODU) and Brittany Atkins, LPTA (TCC) with our district's Clinical Excellence Award. These students are APTA members and were nominated by their clinical instructors for demonstrating excellent theory application, attitude, communication, acceptance of responsibility, professionalism, and patient rapport. Both students will have their names added to a plaque maintained by each program. Both students also received a commemorative certificate and funds to be used for continuing education or APTA membership. Next year, our district hopes to have more nominees and winners from the 2 PT and 4 PTA programs in our area.
