Application of Knowledge
"Knowledge has no value unless you use and share it"- Unknown
Reflection
-
A life long passion for learning has been apart of me but in recent years I have found that there is no value unless it is passed on to others
-
I see a need to effect change in the system and hope to take action towards this as I establish myself in the field to make sure that patients remain above profit.
-
I will always seek out more information so that I can grow but more importantly, I will seek to continually integrate what I learn into practice.
-
I will investigate the unique needs of each patient and not provide them care based solely on typical presentation

-
The social isolation presented by COVID-19 has had a substantial psychosocial impact and affects everyone differently
-
How appropriate interventions can lead to a successful discharge
-
How to apply a broad scope of literature to unique patients.

I discovered...
-
How difficult it is to run a business even just on paper
-
The profit necessary to remain open does not often incentivize patient-centered care
-
I theorize the way to attain both is by establishing the proper cultureamong employees
-
Too many clinics are forced to sacrifice outcomes to keep their doors open
-
My passion as a physical therapist is a fully integrated approach to manage the neuromusculoskeletal system in its entirety and not merely as components.
