Research
Experiential learning at St. Joe's
Researchers at St. Joe’s Physiotherapy Department hosted an interactive workshop on April 17 for a group of high school students.

These workshops, hosted by Dr. Michelle Kho and her team, introduced the major components of the intensive care unit (ICU) through a simulated ICU patient room. Students learned first-hand about ICU patient rehabilitation, as well as the associated research and career options.

Students were able to try out in-bed cycling for themselves, which Dr. Kho has been using for long-term patient recovery.
