Pain Science

I love watching it when students "get it", get more excited, passionate and confident in the knowledge translation when they take what they are learning and are able to effectively put it into clinical practice. Hearing personal stories from students about how they were able to make a difference in their patients and clients lives is incredibly rewarding!
