Lisa Mangino, PT and Pediatric Specialist at Advance Physical Therapy, is headed to Guatemala at the end of April. As part of the UNC Physical Therapy School’s Global Outreach Program, she will join 7 other PT’s and 15 of their physical therapy students on a 10 day trip to Antigua. The mission of the trip is to educate the local clinicians in ways to prevent disability, and to improve wellness in children and adults. Ideas, philosophies and a focus on functional movement and independence will be shared. It also serves as an extraordinary environment in which to provide clinical education to current PT students. And she is so excited to see what they will teach her! No doubt it will be a perspective-changing and inspiring experience. Stay tuned for pictures from the adventure!
