Eleven Wor-Wic Community College students recently participated in a pinning ceremony to acknowledge their completion of the physical therapist assistant (PTA) program and an official invitation into the profession.
Dr. Tiffany Kotra-Loos, clinical coordinator and associate professor, and Dr. William J. Bails, department head and professor in the PTA program, delivered remarks and awards to the students. Abigail Stabinski of Ocean City was the student speaker.
In addition to Stabinski, the graduates were Alexis Bosley, Julia Cornish, Natalie Flynn, Madison Paolone and Brittney Wallop of Salisbury; Monika Copes of Hebron; Rylee Covington of Pocomoke City; Tina Walas of Ocean City; Zachary Johnson of Delmar, Del.; and George Eppard-Annis of Millsboro, Del.
PTAs help people of all ages to move and perform functional activities in their daily lives, in a variety of settings, including hospitals, private practices, skilled nursing facilities, rehabilitation centers, school systems and sports facilities. Those interested in pursuing the program can attend a prospective student meeting on July 7 at 10:30 a.m. To reserve a seat, email wbails@worwic.edu or call 410-334-6766.
