Tina Stoeckmann was trained in physical therapy at the University of Wisconsin - Madison graduating in 1988. Ms. Stoeckmann earned her masters degree from the Medical College of Wisconsin in Bioethics in 1999, and her Doctorate of Science degree in Neurologic Physical Therapy at Rocky Mountain University of Health Professions in 2007. Ms. Stoeckmann has been practicing as a physical therapist since 1988. Her clinical expertise is in neurological rehabilitation with a special focus on traumatic brain injury. In the fall, she teaches the Neurological Rehabilitation and Advanced Topics in Neurologic Rehabilitation course, while teaching Cognitive and Motor Learning course in Exercise Science program and the prosthetics and orthotics content in the Advanced Kinesiology course in the spring. Ms. Stoeckmann continues to practice at Froedtert Memorial Hospital, and has served on the State Ethics Committee for the Wisconsin Physical Therapy Association.  She is currently on the Southeast Regional Developmental Disabilities Ethics Committee.  In addition, she has presented extensively on ethics to a variety of audiences, including therapist, biomedical engineers, research coordinators, and biomedical scientists.
