She returned to Portland after graduating and has since worked in both outpatient and inpatient settings. Claire enjoys working in the outpatient setting where she can have more 1:1 time with patients and develop strong therapeutic relationships. She feels the most important aspect of physical therapy is patient education and providing tools to patients for independent management.
