Jillian Adams, NL - 2024 MDT Diploma Scholarship Recipient!
Jillian Adams of Foundations Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation in Spaniards Bay, NL, was selected as the 2024 recipient of the McKenzie Institute Canada Phil Burchell MDT Diploma Scholarship in the amount of $3000.00 USD, plus the MICanada Travel Bursary of $3000.00 CAD. MICanada provides this financial assistance as part of an ongoing campaign to assist dedicated clinicians in their quest for clinical excellence. Congratulations Jillian!
Jillian is an advocate of the MDT approach and patient education. As Jillian expanded her knowledge of MDT, she recognized the benefits of utilizing the McKenzie Method for patients living in rural areas without easy access to health care. Jillian's dedication to excel as a clinician prompted her to apply to the McKenzie Institute Diploma Programme. Jillian's future plans include expanding her clinic and mentoring other clinicians eager to develop their clinical expertise. We wish Jillian all the best on her journey to attaining Diploma.
