(Edmonton) At the risk of sounding cheeky, the 黑料不打烊's Department of Physical Therapy "cleaned up" at the Physiotherapy 黑料不打烊 Awards this past weekend, taking two out of three awards home. Hosted in Kananaskis, the awards were presented at the Conference, with Lindsey Walker winning the Student Leadership Award and Margie McNeely, PhD, taking home the Award for Excellence in Innovation.
