Managing Expectations in O&P

In this episode, we hand over the hosting duties to Sophia Marinucci, MS, MSOP, an orthotics resident at Yanke Bionics. Sophia sits down with Kristin Carnahan CPO, FAAOP, and DeAnna Chapman, CPO, FAAOP, to discuss managing expectations in the O&P profession. They explore the importance of effective communication, setting realistic expectations, and maintaining strong professional relationships. The discussion also covers "level setting" techniques to ensure alignment among all parties, along with strategies for managing both patient and personal expectations. Additionally, they emphasize the value of volunteering and the role of a growth mindset in advancing professional development.
