Experiential learning in brain injury rehabilitation
Netta Gurari, an Assistant Professor in the Department of
Biomedical Engineering and Mechanics, is the primary instructor for a
course that immerses students into the life and web of care for individuals
with a brain injury. This immersive experience, facilitated by Brain Injury
Solutions and Carilion Clinic, allows students to meet people with brain injuries
and engage with the framework of support they require in their daily lives.
Gurari and Radford University Assistant Professor, Kevin Parcetich, co-teach this
experiential learning course with support from an Institute for Society,
Culture, and Environment grant.
