My Profile Summary - Please do contact me for an up-to-date copy of my resume:
I am a young, skilled Ghanaian physiotherapist with 4 years experience.
I earned my Bachelor of Science in Physiotherapy (BScPT) from University of Ghana, where I gained experience as a physical therapy intern in a variety of settings. I have experience working with a wide spectrum of clients most especially orthopaedic/musculoskeletal, sports-related, geriatric and neuro-related (especially Stroke management).
I have extensive experience in manual therapy and most of my work is using manual techniques such as mobilising according to Maitland or Mulligan, Massage, Trigger point release techniques, exercise, electrotherapy and education.
My skills go beyond clinical knowledge and technical ability. Both patients and advisors have praised my strong communication skills. I am able to effectively explain procedures to patients and answer any questions they have, always speaking in a patient and kindly tone. Even when I am carrying a particularly heavy caseload, I always take the time to speak with each patient, and make sure they feel comfortable and confident in their treatment plan.
I have special interest in working in a facility that handles a wide category of clients from all walks of life. I therefore visited Dubai last month to learn a bit about the culture in the gulf region, which I found fascinating. I have therefore started the Primary Source Verification with DataFlow to make it easier for license application anywhere assigned once needed.
I participate in several short courses and workshops with the most recent being the First Team Physician Course organised in Accra (A 4 day intensive Sports, Exercise and Rehabilitation Medicine Course organised by the American College of Sports Medicine).
I have experience in both OPD and on-the-ward practice. I strongly believe in evidence based and activity based practice.
With my background as former president of the University of Ghana Association of Physiotherapy Students, I am a people's person.
I am highly adaptable, reliable, disciplined and ready to work anywhere and any hours as assigned.
I exercise a lot personally as a hobby and I am very healthy.
I wish to serve, and hope I will be granted this opportunity.
