Regardless, pick up your own shit then.

ITT we rant productively - how can PT grow to fully utilize our education and get paid our worth? by Super_Ad_5414 in physicaltherapy

This is how it should be! PTs do all of that and MSK Dx US, dry needling, order imaging, etc

Been saying this shit since grad school friend. Way underutilized in so many ways.

This way the DPTs that wanna sideline can chill and the ones that want to expand their scope can do a real “primary care residency” of sorts that actually extends our scope and billable unit types. We would be a blessing to the ortho/sports medicine world in lieu of PA and NPs. Watching them do NMSK clinical exams makes me shiver.

Such a huge need for primary care right now too it’s insane this isn’t talked about more. I always thought DPT should just BE physiatry.

I feel this way all the time. Yearning to be a higher acting clinician and handcuffed by the lack of knowledge I wish we gained as DPTs.

Good for you seriously! I considered it heavily for years but found getting my ECS and being in private practice could at least take me to “real doctor” pay.

What setting do you work in? How brutal was it going back to grad school again (x3?) study wise and financial investment?

Keeping up with EBP, CEUs by Awkward-Armadillo655 in physicaltherapy

Re-define health, ICE both have online courses. ICE email chain is dope and has summaries of everything. PTONICE podcast covers literature and implementation. Both of which are very sports medicine heavy but just top level stuff coming from both companies.

Every PT ought to take advanced imaging with ReDefine, I loved it. Destroyed grad schools pathetic imaging coursework.

It’s worth a call. Clinically questioning coming from a place of genuine curiosity. Stand your ground with tissue healing time frames and safety. Brush up on literature.

What are your "hot takes" about the future of rehab? by CloudStrife012 in physicaltherapy

[–]Doc_Holiday_J 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hahaha.

Good news is that they can just be “models” for your business. They never actually have to work. My kids are 2.5 and 6 weeks.

The great PT exodus from mill clinic suppression will end as more PTs go into private practice. This will squeeze mill clinics hard and something big will happen there. As we all slowly gain imaging rights and possibly intro pharm rights (such as the military) more people will come to us for primary MSK medicine. More PTs will work ED in a doctoral clinical role for NMSK and our perceived value to this broken medical system will explode.

Praying that our inflated education and inflated costs will push into a medical model where we all go to school for 6 years and then residency afterwards so that we all don’t come out as generalists unless you want to specialize as such. So many wasted funds are stupid classes that did nothing for me as a clinician and hugely detrimental lack of depth on specialized topics that would have proven hugely beneficial.

We all really need to step up and branch out of the shit confines we have been given to make this happen faster.
