Welcome to your Therapy Clinical at Summa Health
Thank you for choosing Summa Health for your clinical affiliation! We look forward to facilitating your education.
My name is Melissa Lippencott, PT and SCCE for Summa Health. I've been a Physical Therapist for over 15 years and a Clinical Instructor for over 10 years. I'm very passionate about clinical education and I consider myself a flexible and fair CI.
As the SCCE, I currently oversee the scheduling of students at several clinical sites and the assignment of clinical instructors. I'm your on-site resource if a circumstance should arise that you, as the student, may feel you cannot discuss with your CI. I welcome you to Summa Health and hope your educational experience is positive and enriching!
