Ms. Clark has recently completed all of the requirements necessary to become a Board-Certified Specialist in Geriatrics.
“This is a great accomplishment, as it requires knowledge in a wide variety of areas,” said Tod Cain, director of Therapy Services at Siskin Hospital. The certification process requires at least two years experience treating geriatric patients, as well as passing a difficult clinical specialist exam.
Geriatrics focuses on treating patients over the age of 65 years old.
Ms. Clark has worked at Siskin Hospital for ten years, where she has been the Senior Physical Therapist in the SubAcute Unit for the past 3½ years. She has a Bachelor of Science in Physical Therapy from UTC, and will graduate from UTC in December 2008 with her Doctorate in Physical Therapy.
Siskin Hospital is very proud of her hard work to attain the Geriatric Specialist Certification, something that no other health professional in the Chattanooga community has accomplished. Mr. Cain said, “Cristy’s dedication to clinical excellence is why Siskin Hospital has such exceptional clinical outcomes with our patients.”
