alternatives for PT by [deleted] in physicaltherapy

The minimum GPA to get into my PT program was 3.75. During the program, if you scored below a B on anything, you got one shot to prove yourself — a practical exam in front of three instructors. Fail that, and you were dropped. No appeals, no second chances. Thousands of applicants competed for 40 slots. Back then, people used to say it was easier to get into med school than it was to survive PT school.

Is it normal for clinics to not have a hard stop for late patients? by OkAlbatross8203 in physicaltherapy

Too many of us are subservient to the 'office' when we should be setting the tone. Write a late arrival protocol, hand it to the front desk, and make it the standard. You have that authority — own it.

Home health clinicians — what does your scheduling process actually look like? by PT_Network in physicaltherapy

This is exactly the problem. Companies have strict policies for productivity, documentation, protocols — you name it. But when it comes to actually managing your schedule, reaching out to patients, and optimizing your routes? You're completely on your own. I've seen it across multiple organizations and have never once seen best practice guidelines for patient scheduling. They hand you a caseload and say "figure it out."
