They discuss:
-Being on the APTA board and how to get involved
-Challenges the physical therapy profession is facing from the
up-and-coming generation
- Being a role model in the space, setting the space and opening
doors in the physical therapy community
-Why and how they both decided to go through a Residency fellowship
program for their next educational venture
On residency programs, Tayo wanted to learn how to return athletes back to sport and be able to get into a space where he can communicate with the different professions within a sports medicine team. Along with the structured mentorship part of the Residency.
Devin wanted to have a strong high evidence-based foundation and work with a mentor who would help her refine her clinical reasoning skills and the program to be close to home, for her residency program.
