Christopher Mitchell
Calgary,AB
Summary
Anticipated graduate in Physical Therapy from the University of Alberta. I have a strong foundation in the appropriate rehabilitation techniques, clinical reasoning and interdisciplinary teamwork skills necessary to work within an interdisciplinary team in the Alberta public healthcare system.
I am seeking an entry-level position at a healthcare facility where I can work alongside a cohesive team to provide optimal patient care. I am open and willing to learn new skills, as well as develop my current skills in pursuit of lifelong growth and professional development.
I have successfully passed the Canadian Physiotherapy Competency exam and am eagerly prepared to embark on my professional career in January 2024.
