#touro50 “My favorite things about working at Touro are the family atmosphere and watching the students progress and grow. The faculty get along very well and really care about the students and how they are doing. I have seen some of my students that I’ve known since they were master's students, graduate and become residents. It's so rewarding to watch them from the beginning of school and starting their careers." -Kelly Kohler, M.S., CHSE, EMPT-P - Clinical Assistant Professor and Simulation Specialist - TouroCOM Middletown #wearetouro #tourocollege #tourocom #tourocommiddletown

Future occupational therapy (OT) practitioners from the Touro School of Health Sciences came together recently for their Adult Physical Disabilities II final lab practical exam. “During the exam, we were tested on the use of physical agent modalities including ice massage, moist hot pack, paraffin, and fluid therapy. We also were tested on eating, feeding, and swallowing techniques needed for external oral motor assessments, internal oral motor assessments, pharyngeal exams, and feeding trials," said student Britney Ramirez. In OT, physical agent modalities are used to improve a client's functional abilities, modulate pain, modify tissue healing, or decrease inflammation, which will come in handy as this group of students are about to embark on their fieldwork placement in adult physical disabilities settings.

Touro Graduate School of Social Work alum and co-founder of Magenu, Jennifer Zoldan-Verschleiser, AuD., LCSW, shares her favorite thing about Touro in honor the school's 50th anniversary: "My favorite thing was the diversity. I absolutely loved being in class with humans from all different cultures. It was so amazing to meet like-minded people from many diverse backgrounds - especially in today’s climate, when I look back at how respectful we all were to each other, it makes me feel so calm and hopeful. The heated discussions, the empathetic responses and the overall storytelling we all were allowed to do continues to make me smile and will stay with me for a very long time." #wearetouro #tourocollege #touro50
