| Why I volunteer for the AC | While I have been in my field for a number of years now, I joined our rehab team 13 years ago, first as a social worker with our amputee patients and later as a case manager. I am co-lead of our Amputee Program Team and a PALS instructor. It has been exciting to watch our program develop and I greatly enjoy interacting with this population. I have helped plan our annual Amputee Awareness 5K and have spoken at a couple of Amputee Conferences. I have learned so much working in this field and am glad to be able to give back by volunteering for the AC. I am honored to be able to participate in SciMac and to learn from others while also sharing my expertise. |
