Bill‘s long-term goals include pursing a clinical doctorate in Occupational Therapy as well as further credentialing for pursuit of Certified Hand Therapist (CHT). Bill is greatly interested in research on how 3D printing technology can be applied to create and fit custom orthotics, as well as how telemedicine and therapy can be used to increase access to healthcare for the less fortunate and to improve patient outcomes across the world.
