Guest Quotes:

4:57 Krissy “So residency is a really great way to get all of those advanced practices done in that year and fill in the gaps.”

14:41 Krissy “You’re self selecting into that elite path to be the best clinician that you can be. Also, you’re also advocating for PT within the hospital, what our role is. So we do so much interdisciplinary collaboration. You’re automatically elevating how we’re seen as a profession within the hospital.

19:26 Beverly “The other research that we’re seeing across the board is that residency education in general: increased speed of the career trajectory. Increased salaries…Rapid movement into leadership positions or teaching positions…they’ve got research presentations, whether it is at a chapter meeting, whether is it combined sections. We’ve had residents who participated in the Academies clinical practice guidelines on outcome measures. Now the residents are embedded in scholarship.”

20:58 Beverly “Data on acute care residencies is even in a short period of time, we have the 41. acute residency graduates. And we had 31 respondents. So a very large percentage of the of the alumni of acute care residencies. And they very clearly had a ramping up toward leadership, towards teaching, toward research, toward career development, all of the things we wanted to see.”

Rapid Responses:

Krissy: “I don’t like pizza”

Beverly: “Pineapple does not belong on my pizza, sorry.

You know you work in acute care when:

Krissy: “You can discuss what you want for lunch while you’re doing peri care.”

Beverly: “I would say you have a change of clothes because you’re used to having your clothing soiled. So not by yourself, but by someone else. “
