Welcome, Dr. Rebekah Lawrence!

The Bone & Joint Center is pleased to welcome Dr. Rebekah Lawrence as a new post-doctoral research associate.  Dr. Lawrence has a BS in Health Science from Bradley University (Peoria, IL), a Doctor of Physical Therapy from St. Ambrose University (Davenport, IA), and a PhD in Rehabilitation Science from the University of Minnesota (Minneapolis, MN).  Becky's PhD research focused primarily on shoulder biomechanics, and she will continue to pursue these interests as part of the motion analysis lab research team.  Welcome, Becky!
