I forgot to update professional Twitter but... I accepted a position into the Health Disparities Research certificate program at University of Illinois Chicago and I am SO EXCITED !!
I graduated with my doctorate 80 days ago and haven't yet been able to secure a full-time job. Finding (full time) healthcare employment during a pandemic is brutal. :/
This podcast has been wonderful to listen to, with high quality guests! I would guess most of PT twitter knows most of what’s being said in this episode, but it’s still a great listen! https://t.co/Evl9MX9DTr
Physical therapy will be a key for the recovery stages of this pandemic. PT has responded to 1918 flu epidemic, 2 WWs, polio, & need to prevent & manage chronic disease. As a profession that specializes in survivorship -- this is our next challenge.

Looking for a job right now is pretty discouraging, but trying to stay positive and hopeful that the right job will come around and lead me to serve the population that I can benefit the most at this time!
I filled out the Latest letter to Congress about CMS cuts (not the first time Ive done this) but it IS the first time I personalized the template and it is also the first time I received a response! Im not sure what everyone else’s experience was but yay for getting a response!
@elevatingEBP Thats awesome! Several others have commented about different ways to get started in public health too, so these are all such great suggestions and things I will definitely consider🙂
@CraigPhifer@MarcRubyDPT@TheAPHPT This is really great info because I’m a new grad so I am wanting to work first before I fully commit to going back for another degree. Thanks so much!
@LisaVanHoosePT That’s so awesome to hear! If you’re willing I’d love to talk more about what you do with both degrees and how you got started with combining the two
