Our licensed experienced clinical staff believes in being life long career learners. We accomplish this via attending state of the art continuing education seminars and programs as well as accepting graduate students from a variety of graduate school programs. By doing this, Spot On Therapies clinical staff stay on the “cutting edge” of clinical approaches but we are continually collaborating with each other as a team as we mentor the graduate students we are not only teaching but learning from as well.
