To Whom It May Concern:
I am currently a third year student in the Doctorate of Physical Therapy program at Boston University- Sargent College of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences and in the process of completing my practicum project. I have chosen to develop an educational manual for patients with spinal cord injury for use in an acute rehab setting. It is my hope that this manual will be a useful tool for patients in the future.
Currently I am in the process of researching information regarding the current educational practice for spinal cord injury in acute rehab settings. I feel that there is no better resource for accurate and honest feedback and suggestions for education regarding spinal cord injury than you, the consumer.
A short 12 question survey is listed below. If you would be willing to complete the survey you can send responses to the e-mail listed below, or respond to this post. Thank you in advance for your help.
Sincerely,
Susanna Camalier
