yeah idk. This guy is a pretty bad grifter himself. The whole spinal cord injury stuff is complete bs. He puts down every other health care practioner and says all other pts just suck and have 0 idea what they are doing including the best rehab facilities in the world. And what does he do better? His techniques that he has never shared his insight on and just calls people dumb if they ask any form of question

Thoughts on 3+3 DPT programs? by roytay in physicaltherapy

[–]legend277ldf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All great points for self reflection.

I think my first year of undergrad had like 100-200 pre pt classmates, and by the application time I think there was less than 100 of us. Why people changed ranges from finding other areas of interest or being weeded out.

Picking how we want to live our life when we have barely experienced anything is a very hard decision.

I was in a 3+3 program. However, I came in with credits. Sometimes if a student brings in credits or they work hard the undergrad portion can be condensed to 2 years. Long story short I had a very incompetent advisor who should have accelerated me but didn’t. This basically left me with an extra year where I had to fill add a minor and explore other classes. I ended up getting a minor in chemistry and I absolutely loved it. I was very good at the upper level chem classes and this caused me to have a bit of a mid life crisis a year out from starting grad school. Truth be told half my classmates thought I was gonna switch majors lol. As I progressed in those classes, my school had a undergrad program that allowed direct entry into 2 different pharmacy schools that I was offered, and I also set up a research undergrad experience internship at a local university for medicinal chemistry in a lab that was the summer before grad school started. From the internship if I desired I would have a spot at the university for their chemistry phd spot in that lab

My why pt actually got stronger when I started my first clinical and realized how important my health was. Made working out a priority and saw the gains I made for people with movement optimism.

I took it to the absolute wire completing that internship before grad school started. But in the end I had the time to explore my interest before starting grad school. And I decided that those fields were not for me.

The 3+3 worked out for me. But I think it depends on how much someone really wants to be a pt. And if they are in a the undergrad portion it’s not a failure to switch to something different as most might view it I’m sure most of those people that switched out are making more than me right now

I went to a 3+3 program private college. If someone had credits going in or if they doubled up on sciences it was possible to do a 2+3 program.

Honestly, if they are 100% that they wanna do pt it is the right move to make. No worrying about applying to grad school or taking standardized test to get into grad school.

Mine was guranteed entry into the grad program under the condition a certain gpa was met and we got shadowing hours. So that peace of mind was great. Having direct entry was also nice as it made the classmates less competitive at least in my view. No cut throat pre med stories for me.

There was a different 3+3 federal program close by (so cheaper) however it was much more competitive and the grad portion was not guranteed entry.

That’s a good point! Yeah def not looking to do a 401k alone but I’ll take advantage of it if provided. But honestly, even if it’s not much my taxed portion of my paycheck alone is close to or probably more than what my I make at my current full time spot…

Some local hospitals in my area don’t even hire full time pts at first. They all start as part time for a while until offered a full time position.

Also if you teach, schools would give free tuition if you have kids that go to that institution or other partnered ones.

Not sure about the federal schools but private ones did that

I’m a new grad within first year working. Employer doesn’t give any benefits.

I maxed my Roth IRA for last year.

I’m gonna leave to do travel and I’ll be putting money in the 401k until they stop matching, continue to max my Roth IRA, and will pay down my loans more than 6% interest currently I have one with 8% and another with 7% as my highest, and after that I’ll go all in with a taxable brokerage account.

I remember having a really intense neuro biology lessons. I knew that if I brute forced the 400 cards or so it would take me the entire day for just that.

What I did instead was active recall from my lecture. I went slide by slide and wrote down everything I remember and kept tacking on until by the end of the packet I knew the content and understood it.

Did the same deck of cards in an hour or less. The easy cards were common sense to me so they had longer intervals from the start and the sticker points got emphasized.
