Benefits for Being a CI for UNC Chapel Hill

Benefits for Being a CI for UNC Chapel Hill!!

Physical Therapy students could not become practicing clinicians without the help of excellent clinicians in the field. They need rich learning environments and dedicated, caring mentors to evolve in their clinical skills and in their role as a professional. We would like to thank you for all you do in support of physical therapy and UNC. Here are a few things that we can offer to you as a way to say thanks:

 AHEC Digital Library access. This will allow you to search using PubMed Medline, Cochrane and other databases. You can access UNC’s electronic journals including Physical Therapy. Please fill out the information below and return to us in order to get your access established.
