Course Description: Physical therapists are uniquely positioned to positively impact vulnerable patient populations in several non-traditional ways. This course will describe one physical therapist’s journey into the world of patient advocacy for patients with the rare genetic disease Wilms Tumor-Aniridia (WAGR) Syndrome. Utilizing a PT’s specialized rehab experience and research knowledge, a multi-disciplinary project was developed to organize patient registry data for WAGR patients. The registry highlights the clinical utility and importance of systematic data collection in a central repository. Through this effort, research can address essential questions allowing for a patient-centered approach that positively impacts this vulnerable patient population.
