We had a wonderful guest in the clinic yesterday. Melissa Culbertson, a medical research coordinator and doctoral student in sociology, is helping to gather and analyze data on secondary traumatic stress mitigation via therapy dogs within our outpatient setting at Western Michigan University Unified Clinics.
