CaraHOST
What are schools using to track or grade student performance in the clinic? When I was in school and being in Texas, Texas has its own notebook, it's called the PT Max, that we would use, but I know that there are a couple of other...
CaraHOST
And I think APTA has one.
CaraHOST
So I'd be curious to know what AOTA and, and schools around you, Romy, use, because some of that also factored into what rotations students are going on, because we had to get things checked off in order to graduate.
Romina AstifidisGUEST
For physical therapy, they're all using the CPI, which is APTA's product, at least around here.
Romina AstifidisGUEST
And then I think it must be part of the accreditation requirements.
Romina AstifidisGUEST
I'm seeing much more uniformity for that.
11 MINS LATER
Romina AstifidisGUEST
That's one of the nice things about part of a large organization, and I have a team, and we've actually sat down and created things for our students that will help them if they're struggling, as well as using the school resources, and that would be the second thing.
Romina AstifidisGUEST
I would say involve the school quickly.
DerlyHOST
Beyond the clinic, she has accomplished researches with peer-reviewed publications in pelvic health and oncology rehabilitation.
DerlyHOST
She has held leadership roles with the American Physical Therapy Association, including both APTA Pelvic and APTA Oncology, and she is passionate about advancing the profession through continued education for rehabilitation clinicians.
DerlyHOST
Through her education courses and engaging social media platforms, she empowers both healthcare providers and patients with practical evidence and base information.
DerlyHOST
So today we'll explore why pelvic health is a vital part of cancer care, discuss how rehabilitation can improve quality of life during and after treatment, and learn why addressing issues that many patients are hesitant to talk about can make a profound difference in recovery.
Rachel WileyGUEST
for reviewing all of them.
Rachel WileyGUEST
I think that, you know, I'll start with the gratitude portion, which is I am grateful to AOTA, APTA, ASHA for their collective advocacy for caregiver training codes.
Rachel WileyGUEST
I do think it was a step forward.
Rachel WileyGUEST
theoretically, a step in the right direction for acknowledging the importance of caregiver training in providing good outcomes for our patients.
Karen LitzyHOST
So I do volunteer.
Karen LitzyHOST
I volunteer within the American Physical Therapy Association to help give back to my profession that has given me so much.
Karen LitzyHOST
And I volunteer at an animal shelter because I love animals.
Karen LitzyHOST
And so that's something that makes me happy.
Helen CareyGUEST
So I played around a little bit more with some sample scenarios.
Helen CareyGUEST
And for example, this cycle, we have an updated version of the Professionalism, Ethics, and Legal Issues Study Guide because we have APTA has a new code of conduct.
Helen CareyGUEST
ethics.
Helen CareyGUEST
And so I used AI to generate some clinical practice scenarios, some reflection questions, and some important considerations.
SheilaHOST
But I want to say you get... like 20 things.
SheilaHOST
And it almost looks like a folder on the side of the web browser where you can see all of the source material.
SheilaHOST
So you could upload a couple APTA fact sheets, or you could upload the CPG of something and have that kind of in there.
SheilaHOST
Maybe like it's a torticollis notebook LM, right? And you're uploading all the CPG and all of the information that you have from it And then it can kind of combine and contrast and use all of those different source materials to kind of create like a study partner.
RoniHOST
But But I'm bringing this up because in a couple of weeks, I'm going to Seattle for the first time I've ever been.
RoniHOST
And I'm doing a speech for their APTA talking about the next 100 years of PT and where we think it's going, because it's changed a lot in 100 years.
RoniHOST
Like what PT was back in 1926.
RoniHOST
I don't even know.
Shannon DavisGUEST
That's, I think, where, you know, the difference is, is that it does open a lot of doors to have these dynamic opportunities, but that's not going to come from necessarily the PT profession.
Shannon DavisGUEST
It's going to become from the physical therapists that are already in the field and take it there.
Shannon DavisGUEST
And so I think that's where the journey is a little bit different versus, you know, 50 years ago, it was the APTA and the organization and stuff.
Shannon DavisGUEST
That was the leadership and it still is the leadership, but that was the educational leadership, right? In the more traditional settings that people know of with the hospital and the outpatient.
Erin GallardoHOST
Dr. Hain's research interests include Parkinson's disease, using assistive mobility technology to promote safe and early mobility in interprofessional collaborative practice, She has practiced in acute, ICU, subacute, outpatient, and community wellness settings over her 30-year career as a physical therapist.
Erin GallardoHOST
She's a member of the APTA, including Academies of Neurologic PT and Education.
Erin GallardoHOST
She teaches for NeuroSpark.
Erin GallardoHOST
an online mentoring and continuing education group specializing in neurologic physical therapy content and OT content.
Jon LindbergGUEST
Because we realize that our base is bringing some small, tiny percentage that may be coming from some other organization.
Jon LindbergGUEST
So physical APTA is a fantastic physical therapy association.
Jon LindbergGUEST
Some of their members will come to some of our meetings some of the time.
Jon LindbergGUEST
Almost all of ACRM's members are members of at least two or three other associations.
Karen WadeHOST
I'm a dummy when it comes to not speech-related stuff.
Karen WadeHOST
Is the APTA process different? Oh, yeah.
Vanessa ReynoldsGUEST
APTA is so chill.
Vanessa ReynoldsGUEST
They don't care.
Vanessa ReynoldsGUEST
They don't do what ASHA and AOTA does.
Vanessa ReynoldsGUEST
That tracks.
Vanessa ReynoldsGUEST
Yeah, like we have an actual process and we approve, like APTA doesn't have what ASHA and AOTA do.
Vanessa ReynoldsGUEST
Just like whatever singing
Chad GarreauHOST
So, yeah, I
Rebecca CallaisGUEST
mean, treat holistically in vestibular rehab because i've heard of some patients will say yeah i've had vestibular rehab but they didn't feel comfortable treating my neck or um so treating these clients holistically really is key working on the vestibular function working on central hypersensitivities and really listening to the functional things that they're having trouble with and using our skills and activity analysis and figure out okay what can we do to maybe change the occupation that they're doing to make it a little bit easier or the environment in which they're doing it? Because in our, in vestibular rehab, we have these wonderful, APTA has this wonderful clinical practice guideline, which a lot of therapists rely heavily on.
Rebecca CallaisGUEST
And they talk about This timeline six to eight weeks of this regimented intense exercise program.
Rebecca CallaisGUEST
And then the client will be compensated.
