Acumen
Academically, Bobby jumped right in at the University of Alberta with an undergraduate degree in Kinesiology. He completed his first degree in 2012 with distinction, and was admitted to the Master’s of Science in Physical Therapy program, also at the U of A, that same summer. By late 2014 he was working clinically and looking to quench his thirst for continuing education. Naturally, he continued expanding his knowledge base. He has secured certifications in biomedical dry needling, diplomas of advanced orthopaedic manual therapy, vestibular physiotherapy, concussion management, acupuncture, and other toolbox courses along the way! Lifelong learning is part of the job that Bobby embraces.
Professionally, Bobby likes to stay involved and give back. He began mentoring physiotherapists-in-training in 2015, bringing his first physio student under his wing! He is an affiliated clinical educator with the U of A Faculty of Rehabilitation Medicine and has mentored over a dozen students (but who’s counting). He has regularly volunteered with the admissions team at the U of A physiotherapy program as an interviewer for applicants. On the other end of the physiotherapy credentialling spectrum, he has served as an examiner for the Canadian Alliance of Physiotherapy Regulators to administer licensing exams to physiotherapy applicants. He is a sitting member on council of the College of Physiotherapists of Alberta; the provincial regulatory body for our profession in Alberta. Bobby appreciates the opportunity to make his contribution to the CPTA’s mission to safeguard and serve the public through effective regulation of the practice of physiotherapists in Alberta!
