Currently, in the United States there are significant health disparities. At Rehab Essentials, we understand and remain committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion as fundamental elements of our vision and mission.
We strive every day to curate an exceptional online learning experience, universal accessibility, and a diverse professional rehabilitation community based on inclusivity, intentional respect, and mutual understanding. Rehab Essentials remains dedicated to serving a diverse student population now and into the future. To that end we will continue to partner with universities and organizations that seek to improve access to under-represented students as well as to support and retain students who fully reflect the diversity of the global communities they serve and lead.
Sincerely,
Steve Tepper, PT, PhD, FAPTA
