A defining experience was her internship in the Professional Development course, which gave her an opportunity to become familiar with professional practice and discover her strong interest in neurorehabilitation.<\/p>\n<p>Her career includes 13 years of experience at Centro de Rehabilitaci\u00f3n Casa Madre Canguro Alfa in Cali and three years at Fundaci\u00f3n Especializada en Desarrollo Infantil (FEDI) in Palmira, where she strengthened her knowledge and experience in processes related to pediatric care and child development.<\/p>\n<p>Teaching also became an important part of her professional journey. Between 2018 and 2020, she worked as a faculty member at Pontificia Universidad Javeriana and later, from 2024 to 2025, at Escuela Nacional del Deporte, where she shared her knowledge and professional experience with new generations of healthcare professionals.<\/p>\n<p>Today, her story reflects how a vocation can grow and evolve over time. From her first experiences at Mar\u00eda Cano to the clinical and academic settings where she has worked, Andrea has found in physical therapy a way to bring together knowledge, empathy, and a commitment to the well-being of children.<\/p>\n<p>Graduates Who Transform is also about recognizing the stories that begin in Mar\u00eda Cano classrooms and continue to make an impact across different professional settings. Andrea\u2019s journey reflects the purpose of an education that supports graduates as they discover their path, develop their talents, and contribute to social transformation.<\/p>\n<p>#M\u00e1sMar\u00edaCano<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Andrea Cort\u00e9s Osorio, a 2007 graduate of the Physical Therapy program at Fundaci\u00f3n Universitaria Mar\u00eda Cano, Cali campus, has built a professional career spanning nearly 20 years, shaped by her commitment to neurorehabilitation and, particularly, her work with children.\u00a0During her time at Mar\u00eda Cano, Andrea discovered the areas in which she wanted to develop her [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":15767,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[54],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-15766","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cali"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.4 -
