Taking Physical Therapy Globally! I would love the opportunity to experience practicing PT internationally! #csulbdpt

Our friends in New York are pushing for gradual increase in cap for reimbursement for physical therapy to combat the opioid crisis.

This is what we have to deal with nowadays.. "Text Neck" posture. A bit ironic considering constantly reading Twitter posts probably contributes to the problem... but good thing Physical Therapy can help! #csulbdpt

@rachel_roesgen Definitely! One of the articles I posted talks about reaching out to prospective students to purse the PT profession. And the influence reaches far into the future with dramatically increasing diversity of the patient populations we serve #dpt770 #csulbdpt #RR

Check out some of the data on the Diversity makeup of Physical Therapists in the US. (70% women 80% White in 2016). How does this compare with the US population? Is the discrepancy even greater in a diverse state like California? #dpt770 #csulbdpt

@HoustonHouse121 I think it starts with educating the greater population and advertising ourselves! Many minority populations still do not know enough (or have wrong ideas) about Physical Therapy as a healthcare profession. #dpt770 #csulbdpt #IH

The Arizona chapter of APTA took action at the House of Delegates in 2017 with RC 11-17, an initiative to encourage APTA to push for more diversity. What can we do to encourage and facilitate more diversity in our profession? #dpt770 #csulbdpt

@JamieTanSPT I think being Korean and bilingual is a big plus in this field (and healthcare in general) since communication is a vital component of what we do. Also I think cultural competency with a patient of the same culture is much easier (for both parties). #dpt770 #csulbdpt #JT

[andrewleeDPT @AndrewleeDpt]

@jwei Student Data for Physical Therapy Programs in US for 2017-2018. There is still a large gap in diversity, but I definitely agree that location may be a huge factor (i.e. CA schools probably enroll higher percentage of minorities) #dpt770 #csulbdpt #JW

@JamieTanSPT Definitely! When we went to shadow at Long Beach Memorial Hospital for our Acute Care class, I remember thinking we could really benefit from learning Spanish... (the PT had self taught herself near fluent work related Spanish) #dpt770 #csulbdpt #JT

[andrewleeDPT @AndrewleeDpt]

Diversity is an essential part of any profession, especially in Physical Therapy and healthcare where patient interaction and rapport is crucial. And it starts with education! Educate yourself, educate the public, take action! #dpt770 #csulbdpt

another article from the same research that explains virtual home rehab and benefits for both patient and PT #csulbdpt

Interesting way to create cost savings using in home PT #csulbdpt
VERITAS (Virtual Exercise Rehabilitation In-home Therapy A Research Study project) found almost $2750 in savings for post TKA surgery patients

@VGiacaloneSPT @Kaz_SPT With any bill, have to look at the language. We can agree regulating ATs would be good. But the language in the bill dangerously allows ATs too broad a scope of practice (eval and treat?) which can actually hinder safety. #dpt770 #VM #KN #RR #LF

[andrewleeDPT @AndrewleeDpt]

@rebeccayang_pt @DaniGordon_SPT I agree. think DC's can stand to benefit from more accountability and evidence based practice. PT's doing joint mobilizations can offer both. #dpt770 #RY

@samgriffithsDPT @mattmnzDPT2020 Physician owned PT clinics will exclusively utilize their own PTs, which makes it harder for independently owned PT clinics to get business. Essentially, the bill would undermine the purpose of autonomy. Gaining (limited) direct access at the cost of autonomy. #dpt770 #SG #MM #JE

[andrewleeDPT @AndrewleeDpt]

@jepperson_spt There was the whole debate on POPT (Physician owned PT) clinics when the bill was being signed, basically stating that AB1000 actually reduces autonomy by giving control of PT services to physicians. Wondering how it has turned out #dpt770 #JM #SL #MM
