Amber Baas, SPT is a third-year Doctor of Physical Therapy Student at Emory University. She was led to the rehabilitation professions through an interest in the human body and a desire to be with those going through bodily recovery and help make that process as hopeful as possible. Her interest in the humanities stems from a love of old books and observing how history, culture, technology, and so many other factors impact the human experience. She has enjoyed serving on the Humanities Committee within the Emory DPT program and helping to foster reflection on the human experience.
For the Fall 2021 issue of the JHR, we have invited the Emory DPT Humanities Committee to contribute these resources, which aim to not only “broaden our understanding of the human experience but to help us to develop ways to approach new or different experiences.”
