Breakthrough Insights Live at CSM: Inspiring Growth in Acute Care

Show Notes

What does acute care physical therapy look like when you step outside your hospital and into a national conversation?

In this special solo-hosted episode, Dr. Leo Arguelles takes listeners on the floor at APTA’s Combined Sections Meeting (CSM), capturing real-time conversations with clinicians, leaders, and innovators across the profession. Through a series of candid, unscripted exchanges, this episode highlights the energy, ideas, and evolving perspectives shaping acute care today.

From discussions on professional identity and clinical growth to reflections on where acute care fits within the broader rehabilitation landscape, a common thread emerges: connection drives progress. These conversations reveal how clinicians are thinking differently about their roles, advocating for their patients, and pushing practice forward in meaningful ways.

Rather than focusing on a single topic, this episode offers a mosaic of insights—each voice adding depth to the bigger picture of acute care practice in 2026.

Whether you attended CSM or not, this episode brings the experience to you—capturing the momentum, curiosity, and shared purpose that define our profession.
