Elaine Trudelle-Jackson, PT, PhD
Associate Professor

I currently teach first year entry-level physical therapy students and a number of courses in the transitional DPT and PhD curriculums. My research interests are in the area of health promotion (especially the use of physical activity for illness prevention) and women’s injuries. My most recent research project is an NIH funded study to assess the public health burden of physical activity related injuries in women. Please review my curriculum vitae for more details.
