In this episode, we discuss:
-The mission behind the Healthcare Education Transformation Podcast
-The current state of physical therapy education
-Proposed solutions to a few of the limitations in healthcare education
-The strength of the foundations in physical therapy education
-And so much more!
F Scott Feil:
“There’s so many different ways to leverage any of your degrees.”
“There’s been a wish for more interprofessional communication and collaboration.”
“Get rid of lectures and let’s just get out into the clinic and do more rounding and clinical learning with the other professions in the real setting.”
“There just needs to be more interprofessionalism amongst healthcare.”
“We just need to get back to patient centric care.”
“We are finally coming into our own and we’re owning our field as movement experts and movement and musculoskeletal specialists.”
“If you’ve got an idea and you’re afraid of criticism—just go out and do it, try it. Worst case scenario you’ll learn from it.”
Stephanie Weyrauch:
“There’s this weird limbo that a new graduate has.”
“Trying to improve problem solving and critical reasoning within the student population is really important.”
“There are just as many good clinical instructors as there are bad clinical instructors.”
“You should be more worried about how the student perceives you as a teacher than how you perceive the student.”
“We need more academics.”
“Don’t be afraid to ask for feedback.”
Brandon Poen:
“We cannot deny that finances are involved and run a lot of it too.”
“It’s not the DPT program that necessarily sets the cost, it’s the people and the finances above them.”
“There has to be this broad exposure because at the end of the day people are going to choose different routes.”
“Your network equals your net worth.”
“We are not going to grow if we are not uncomfortable.”
