✨Clinical Immersion Student Spotlight ✨

Today we are highlighting Braxton Gahan, who is completing his clinical immersion with San Diego State University Football 💥🏈
Braxton’s favorite part of his experience? The ability to gain valuable clinical experience at the Division 1 level. Also enjoying the warm weather.
His “this is the career for me” moment? Watching the patient I was assigned to work with from eval to return to play improve throughout the course of the semester.
