Experience

I've been fortunate to have a lot of professional experience over the years. From Specialized training, podcast interviews, national professional activities, and physician and therapist education.

Training/Education

Podcasts

PT Pintcast

March 2020

How people currently approach learning subjects or topics. How people currently discuss cases and try to work with their colleagues on learning information. How most of this does not involve a roadmap, reflection, or mentorship. How Physionexus is hoping to tap into those things. Also how important mentorship and reflection are and that’s in essence what Residency truly is about.

Current Education practices -> memorize, cram, piecemeal, reactionary. Best methods -> scope topics, chunk information, space repetition, interleaving of topics, REFLECTION! People are just doing it wrong, and most of it is habit. Need to tap into habit forming concepts for the good of the profession
