Interesting read on telemedicine. Remote therapy can be used to help deliver psychotherapy to veterans who experience traumatic stress disorders or anxiety when entering hospitals/clinics. #csulbdpt

@AWilliamson_SPT @brevillafana Couldn't agree more. A lot of patients from my old clinic continue to come back because of the interact with the PTs and staff. #csulbdpt #dpt770

@brevillafana Technology has definitely advanced the field of physical therapy but it can never replace human interaction. It is essential to build rapport and developing strong relationships with our patients. We can motivate them on a personal level that no robot can. #csulbdpt #dpt770 #BV

@jnllvllnv I personally have not seen blood flow restriction training before but my CI did mention it briefly. Research appears to be in favor of this concept. If this may potentially benefit a future patient I would not be oppose to trying it! #csulbdpt #dpt770 #JV

Palliative care can save an average of $3000 per patient when added to a patient's hospital treatment. Focus should be directed toward improving the quality of life of a patient rather than treating the health condition alone. #csulbdpt

Lyft and Uber are improving patients' access to healthcare by partnering up with Medicare Advantage plans and other health systems. Their goals include providing rides to elderly passengers to and from health appointments. #csulbdpt

@LeanneKomoda The only disadvantage I noticed was that the evals took a little longer than others. This is because the PTs had no prior knowledge of the pts through direct access. #csulb #dpt770 #LK

[Henry Cheong, SPT @HenryCheongSPT]

@noelavalos71 Future PTs are equipped with enough knowledge to promote healthly living through patient education. We have read multiple articles on how exercise can prevent diseases. We as future PTs can inform pts of all the potential benefits of an active lifestyle. #csulbdpt #dpt770 #NA

Amazon announced that it would enter the healthcare field earlier this year. However, they recently decided to hold off on selling pharmaceuticals to hospitals because of barriers such as GPOs. It's interesting to see what they will do next. #csulbdpt

@BMeunitz Nice find @BMeunitz, thanks for sharing! I agree with the author in regards to diversity and growth. "Diversity fosters growth, growth only happens when we get outside of our comfort zones" #csulbdpt #dpt770

[Henry Cheong, SPT @HenryCheongSPT]

Many of us can agree that its important to promote diversity within the field of physical therapy. What are some possible benefits to our profession by increasing diversity? What do you guys think about the current level of diversity in our profession today? #csulbdpt #dpt770 #HC

[Henry Cheong, SPT @HenryCheongSPT]

@hnkincaid23 Nicely said @hnkincaid23! The large diversity in CA is a big reason why I plan on staying and working here! #csulbdpt #dpt770

[Henry Cheong, SPT @HenryCheongSPT]

@tiradorSPT Couldn't agree more @tiradorSPT. By the looks of our class, men are definitely stepping up into the field of PT! @kyleyeh123. #csulbdpt #dpt770

[Henry Cheong, SPT @HenryCheongSPT]

@kyleyeh123 YES! Please take me further @kyleyeh123. #csulbdpt #dpt770

[Henry Cheong, SPT @HenryCheongSPT]

@daniel_bever Good point @daniel_bever. I saw this all the time when I was volunteering at various clinics. Patients would always request PTs that understood their native language because they felt more comfortable. #csulbdpt #dpt770

[Henry Cheong, SPT @HenryCheongSPT]

@cjweeks46 Good point @cjweeks46. I believe working in different locations/regions is a great way to see more patient presentations and improve our knowledge as future PTs. #csulbdpt #dpt770

[Henry Cheong, SPT @HenryCheongSPT]

@brevillafana Thanks for sharing @brevillafana. Education is definitely key. What are some examples of things that we could possible do to help educate communities? #csulbdpt #dpt770

[Henry Cheong, SPT @HenryCheongSPT]

@OkadaSpt Thanks for sharing Jon! It's shocking to know that such a huge gap exists. It's also surprising to know that females make up 70% of PTs out there! #csulbdpt #dpt770

[Henry Cheong, SPT @HenryCheongSPT]

@BrittanyMorganK I couldn't agree more @BrittanyMorganK. We can build upon our knowledge of other cultures to personally improve ourselves as future PTs. During my first rotation, I've had patients come from multiple different countries.
