skills learned. In addition to the Massage Clinic, there will also be in-patient massage and community outreach
hours earned. Details and scheduling will be discussed during the Mandatory Clinic Orientation.
(Massage Clinical): The supervised massage clinic is open to the community. Students run the clinic as if it were

massage skills by learning room setup, time management, client intakes and SOAP notes in a fast paced
environment that simulates a busy massage practice.
Hours: 52 massage clinical hours (13 clinics)
Coordinator: Staci Conrad

(In-patient Massage): The in-patient massage clinic is one of the very few in the entire country that gives
students the unique opportunity to work on hospital patients in a supervised setting. Students learn the challenges
and enormous rewards of working in a medical environment, including securing medical staff approvals,
navigating around hospital equipment, protecting vulnerable patients from pathogens and working on frail/sick
individuals with special needs.
Hours: 24 in-patient massage hours (6 events)
Coordinator: Kathy Baier
Supervisors: Kathy Baier and Kathleen Murray
(Community Outreach): Community Outreach consists of a variety of venues throughout the surrounding
communities. At these events, the students will be performing chair or hand massage on the community while
promoting the benefits of massage and wellness. Some of these venues are Life at Lourdes, LIWS Open House
events, local farmer's markets and college fairs. These are just a few of the many events that the students will be
asked to participant in and help others to understand the benefits of alternative care.
