285 | Heads, Shoulders, Knees and…Actually, Just Shoulders

After having shoulder surgery, is seeing your surgeon an absolute necessity? And if it is, how can we make this process easier? Hosts Monica Molinaro and Ariel Frame are joined by Rochelle Furtado, an MPT/PhD student seeking to develop an app that makes the shoulder surgery process so much easier. Rochelle tells us what inspired the app, how the app can reduce travelling, waiting times and access to your surgeon, and how in a post-COVID world, an app like this will still be needed. Rochelle also explains how her previous expertise informed her decision to do a combined degree, and what she hopes to do with her two new degrees when she finishes.

To find out more from Rochelle and learn more about her research, follow her and her lab on social media.
