Hello everyone! Below, you will find organized lists, templates, and PDFs of my ‘101’ style notes, which include vivid drawings and simplified (but comprehensive) explanations of various different subjects in my physical therapy school curriculum. All templates are in a Google Doc format and can be downloaded by clicking on the ‘DOWNLOAD’ button below the description. All notes and lists are in the form of a PDF and can be purchased and/or downloaded by clicking on the ‘ADD TO CART’ or ‘DOWNLOAD’ button below the description (additional content-specific details can be found by clicking on the image of each item). After purchasing a PDF, it will be available for download directly from the confirmation page on this blog and in an email sent to the provided email address. The PDF link will expire after 24 hours of your purchase. Because most of the content in the PDFs are original drawings and handwritten notes, the majority of these resources will only be available to purchase in English. However, websites such as Smallpdf and Online Document Translator can be used to convert PDF text to a different language. New resources will be added to this page and shared in a blog post once they become available. Want to be notified as soon as I share new content? Be sure to subscribe to my blog via the form at the bottom of this page!
Please let me know if you have any questions about a particular resource or any issues with your purchase/digital download.
Happy studying! :)
