While in the Physical Therapist Assistant program at Concorde College, Andre honed his clinical skills and developed a deep interest in orthopedic and injury prevention care. As a PTA, Andre plays a vital role in executing individualized treatment plans, recognizing changes in patient status, and contributing to collaborative problem-solving with the supervising therapist.
