Old Dominion Rehabilitation and Nursing is excited to launch our Clinical Education Program, marking a key milestone in our history. After just two short years, our facility, staffed by a dedicated team of five full-time employees, is now hosting its first group of clinical students. We’re proud to offer two individuals the chance to apply their academic knowledge in a real-world clinical setting, gaining valuable hands-on experience.
Welcoming Rebecca Cano and Ashlie Hill
We are thrilled to have Rebecca Cano and Ashlie Hill join our clinical education program. Rebecca comes to us as a student in the Physical Therapist Assistant program at Medical Careers Institute. She and her spouse are both proud Army veterans, and together they are raising twin girls. Rebecca looks forward to a career in outpatient care once licensed, and we’re excited to support her journey.
Ashlie Hill, a Speech-Language Pathology student at Longwood University, is passionate about helping others regain communication and eating skills. She finds inspiration in supporting adults as they work towards overcoming these challenges. Ashlie is deeply committed to her profession and feels at home helping others improve their quality of life.
Thank You to Our Students and Their Clinical Instructors
We extend our heartfelt thanks to both Rebecca and Ashlie for trusting our staff to guide them in their professional development. We truly appreciate your enthusiasm and dedication.
Additionally, we’d like to acknowledge the outstanding clinical instructors who have played a crucial role in shaping the students’ education. Mitchel Thompson, LPTA, and Kelsei Saunders, SLP-CCC, have demonstrated unwavering commitment to their profession, the residents, and the community we serve.
