Connected Learning complements traditional approaches with active learning experiences by doing internships, service learning, and challenging projects in and out of the classroom.

Symposium Clinic

During the annual Connected Learning Symposium, students in the Assessment Diagnosis (AT211) and Therapeutic Exercises & Rehab Techniques (AT304) courses work together to create a collaborative orthopedic clinic.  AT211 students perform orthopedic assessment and AT304 students create the treatment for the diagnosed orthopedic problem.
