First Physical Therapy Healer’s Art Cohort

First Healer’s Art Course for Doctoral Physical Therapy Students at Northern Arizona University

The first Healer’s Art course for doctoral physical therapy students was completed at Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff AZ. Course directors Karen Mueller, PT, DPT, PhD and Petra Williams, PT, PhD, Board Certified Neurologic Clinical Specialist, attended the RISHI faculty training in summer 2018 and offered the Healer’s Art course to 12 physical therapy students in spring 2019. The course was highly successful, with 100% of the students stating they would recommend the Healer’s Art to their fellow classmates. The course will be offered again in the fall of 2019 as an annual elective. Karen and Petra hope to work with RISHI faculty to present and publish on the value of the Healer’s Art course in physical therapy education.
