Speaker: Catherine Cain , Pediatric Physical Therapist
Catherine Cain : Hi, my name is Cat Cain and I am a pediatric physical therapist in Baldwin Place, New York. And I am so excited to be able to be a part of the 2025 Ivy Rehab, pediatric physical therapy residency.
Where did you go to school, and how long have you been with Ivy? We'd love to hear what initially brought you to join the Ivy team!
Catherine Cain : I went to Quinnipiac University in Hamden, Connecticut and I have been a physical therapist for three years now and I've been with Ivy since August. And what initially brought me to Ivy was the opportunity for continuing education and the fostering of clinical growth. I am so excited to get to learn more, get to have more hands on experience with a variety of cases. I was in the school system prior to this, and so I felt myself becoming kind of complacent with my treatment style and my treatment ideas and I'm really excited for the opportunity to expand that.
What are you most excited about as you begin this residency program? What do you hope to accomplish during your time here?
Catherine Cain : There is a lot I'm excited for with the residency. Number one is to be able to collaborate with clinicians across the country. I am in New York. I went to school in Connecticut. So I've been to a kind of Northeast bubble and I can't wait to learn more about how physical therapy and pediatric therapies work in different areas of the country. I am really also excited for the continuing education opportunities. I was a volunteer when I was a student at Quinnipiac with Camp No Limits, which is a camp for limb-, Kids with limb loss and living differences. And we are taking two separate courses, one on limb loss and one on prosthetics. So I'm really excited to learn more and just to be a better whole rounded clinician. By the end of this, be able to have good interprofessional skills, be able to have a better idea and think about the whole patient.
