Summary
My extensive experience working in multidisciplinary pediatric teams in various educational, clinical, and hospital settings gave me a deep understanding of the complexities involved in providing comprehensive care.
As a clinical manager in a private center, I performed regular audits and reviews of clinical practices and documentation to ensure adherence to high standards. I conducted performance evaluations, offering constructive feedback to help team members' growth and development. Coordinating training and professional development programs allowed me to foster a culture of continuous learning.
My work as a trainer and clinical tutor, providing assessment, supervision, support, and mentoring to junior and student PTs, gave me the expertise to drive excellence within any team.
