Dr. Corn has been in his field for 25 years. "My father is a retired orthopedic
surgeon, and I didn't want to have as busy of a professional life that he had,"
Dr. Corn said, adding that his field is evolving. "Physical therapy training is
now a doctorate-level education with required internships and residency.
I am blessed to be one of only a few residency-trained and board-certified
geriatric physical therapists in Sarasota County."
Conaboy has been a licensed attorney for more than 11 years and comes
from a long line of attorneys in his family. "So, I was interested in becom-
ing a lawyer from a very young age," he said. Having a law degree "gives
you a great deal of flexibility and allows you to enter into many di erent
fields. Being part of a growing firm is also very exciting and fulfilling."
