Lauren’s bio:
I’m a proud alumni from UW Doctorate of Physical Therapy program cohort 2024! I took a more atypical path from graduation undergoing a neurologic physical therapy program at the VA Puget Sound, accelerating my clinical practice and exposure in neurologic conditions, as well as fueling my passion for evidence-based practice! I have enjoyed being a clinical instructor, as well as mentor to those interested in neurologic PT, inpatient therapy, and PT residency as a whole. I love connecting with and learning from other passionate physical therapists!
