Dr. Medendorp has worked in multiple settings during her 17-year career as a practicing physical therapist including outpatient ortho, outpatient neuro, acute and outpatient pediatrics, inpatient rehab, and acute care. Acute care is where she spent most of her practicing years specializing in pediatrics, vestibular, and Neuro/trauma ICU care. She led a team of therapists at the COVID only Cone Green Valley Hospital during the height of the pandemic and was awarded the prestigious COVID Legend award. She served as Cone Health’s Site Coordinator for Clinical Education for 4 years and during that time she presented at the Carolina Clinical Education Consortium on the topic of student learning contracts.
