Shauney's Bio:
I graduated from CSS in 2014 with a B.A. in psychology with a biology minor and completed the M.S. EXP program at CSS in 2015. I am now a 2nd year physical therapy student at CSS and I'm loving it! I chose St. Scholastica based on the welcoming environment. I played softball at CSS during my four years of undergraduate studies. I am now the Captain of the CSS Love Your Melon Crew and a PT club rep. I enjoy the company of my friends, being outside, playing volleyball, relaxing and my cat Mittens!

Slow Times

One thing that has been interesting since the first of the year, is that it has been pretty slow at my internship. For the first time, since my schedule opened up, I had no patients scheduled. Usually, my whole day isn’t full, but I’ve never had a full day open. So, for that morning, I shadowed another therapist who was covering “Team Clinic” that morning. Team clinic is a program designed for Mayo Clinic Employees where there is a therapist, physician, sometimes an athletic trainer working as a team to triage and treat patients. DJ, the therapist I was following, (He’s also a sports PT resident) would see the patients first and then determine if they would need a physicians consult for further consultation and or imaging. It was fun to see that and see the collaboration amongst the different professionals. The plus side to being slow at my internship is that I can take that opportunity to see how other therapists work!
