Elizabeth Horsmon, PT, MPT, PCS had this to say about D’Youville students from her experience in the clinic, “Before I became a full-time faculty member here, I would take D'Youville students into the clinic with me, and I found that, compared to students from other schools, D'Youville students are being trained to be very good clinicians. They excel at soft skills with patients, such as communication and developing rapport and trust. They’re also very strong in treatment planning and everything that comes with it. I was excited to have the opportunity to work at D'Youville and help train our future physical therapy clinicians.”
