Meet Michael Palmer! Michael has joined us as student from the GTA. "I had an opportunity to shadow an orthotist while at university for a clinical biomechanics course. I was so interested I applied and started working at Ron Joyce Children’s Health Centre in Hamilton, ON. I followed that up with two years in the technical program in Toronto and now, here I am! I Iove the outdoors - hiking and camping, movie buff, cooking, reading and live music!"

Meet Madeline Christenson! Madeline is learning at WinPO. I'm from Sault Ste. Marie, ON and was introduced to the profession of P&O on an internship while completing my BSc. in Human Kinetics in Ottawa. I fell in love with P&O because of how hands-on, relevant and unique it is to the medical field. When I'm not doing schoolwork, you can find me enjoying the outdoors - and most recently cross-country skiing and skating!

Thank you to our patients who allow us to bring our students into their appointments so they can have the experience! . . . .... . . . . . . . #winpo #amputee #healthservices #team #healthprofessionals #prosthetic #limbloss #winnipeg #manitoba #wpgpo See more
