Guest Quotes:

2:55 “There’s too many people talking and not enough people actually doing something about it. And, you know APTA is 100, 000 members strong. If everyone just did a little something we’d We’d really be able to make some progress.  You know, the other issue and I’m getting on a soapbox a bit is we only represent about 30% of the profession. Imagine if we had 50%. Imagine if we had 70%. And the most are usually those that aren’t a part of the solution, and we need to motivate others to join and become a part of the solution.”

18:56 “And so we have all this evidence that that early mobility is effective and safe and decreases costs, decreases vent days, decreases whole bunch of stuff, but we’re still not there yet.  We need to as a profession, promote best care and decrease the variance.”

28:04 “I don’t think I’ve ever seen a nurse stop a nephrologist from seeing a patient. So, we need to have that same mindset.”

Guest Quotes:

12:57 Abby: (on getting involved) “I found an opportunity that was just enough for me to feel like I was involved. But wasn’t overwhelming and adding a large load to me.”

20:10 Lindsay (on interview/resume tips) “anything else that you can put on there that shows that you are truly interested in the experience. You care because I think we look for people who are passionate about this setting, not just doing it to like, try it out, get some experience and move on to something else. But people who want to grow and develop and stick around for a long time. And there are a lot of little things that you can do to show that.”

25:51 About the Upcoming Town Hall: “So it’s mostly for students to be able to ask questions about a lot of these topics and more.

How to prepare for clinical and acute care, how to transition from students to being a acute care P. P. Should you do a residency or not? So we have some therapists on the panel from different hospitals across the country with some different perspectives and different ways that they went about the job search and that transition.”

Guest Quotes:

6:19 “having the ability to look people in the eye, talk to them and know how to listen is, it’s a lost art.”

15:55 “We are clinicians, we have the ability to identify deficits and we are losing that in some cases because we’re trying to opt for the volume. So, I would say it’s the quality of what we provide that’s really critical. The quality of our assessment skills, looking at how the foot hits the floor, looking at the body chain, looking at, what is slowing this down?”

26:23 “so to Leo, to answer your question, what a new grad can do, what an experienced therapist can do. Sometimes the best thing that you can do is don’t ignore. The little things because the little things make a huge difference. So if somebody looks like they’re not walking, well, step back and assess and see what, what are they not doing well.”

26:54 “But if we always treat the patient like it’s the last time we’re going to see them, then we know we’ve done as much as possible.”

Rapid Responses:
