North Coast Medical’s commitment to helping students further their education does not end with helping them fund it; North Coast Medical’s certified, professional therapists frequent local universities. There, therapists teach students about the career options they have when they pursue a degree in occupational or physical therapy, and what it’s like being a part of such a profound profession. By providing students with products they can try and touch, North Coast Medical gives students a hands-on experience a textbook simply cannot provide.

North Coast Medical is also dedicated to supporting students through strategic collaborations with organizations striving for similar objectives. Each year, since 1996, North Coast Medical has provided scholarships to individuals who are enrolled in accredited therapy programs. The American Occupational Therapy Foundation (AOTF), and the Evelyn J. Mackin (EJM) Fellowship at the Hand Rehabilitation Foundation are two of the programs where recipients are chosen among hundreds of applicants. The scholarships allow students to develop competence by immersing them in real world patient care, learning from surgeons during surgerical operations, and attending conferences. At the core of North Coast Medical, supporting those who will serve others in need is deeply rooted in the company mission.
