@krassenstein @BillyBaldwin Cool, now get a real and meaningful job

[Dave Thompson @dpt8684]

@nikegal7 @edge360wellness Cash clinic if you want to trade serving populations in need for wellness networking only with those with $. I don’t think this worked out well for chiros over the years…

[Dave Thompson @dpt8684]

@nikegal7 @edge360wellness We get paid less per visit than we did in 1998. Do you have a solution? People want to make 6 figure salaries and don’t bring back enough to the company to cover their employment package and overhead that they take to operate. It really is a mess.

@usedgov This needs changed to give partial relief for part-time employees. It makes no sense that someone workin 30 hours a week for 10 years has no part of this program.

[Dave Thompson @dpt8684]

@pano888 @NoahMarek_DPT It’s what they are being taught at con Ed courses acting like they know something novel as marketing

@richard__owens @elonmusk 🤡

@Kev_McE @ryansheltonPT Also the result of pushing telehealth with a reality of motivated folks that prioritize profit to devalue the skill of our profession.

@Jerry_DurhamPT @ShepDPT General outpatient, ortho bias per most. Low income/high Medicaid urban area, great leaning opportunity for medical screening and referral needs in a population that did not seek medical care until things were very progressed.

[Dave Thompson @dpt8684]

@oneRobertoM @Jerry_DurhamPT @ShepDPT A few years back there was a proposal by the academy of Ed section that was squashed by academia that modeled a two step licensure. University training ends at year 2/3 and leads to clinical residency in a practice realm. I’m still curious!

[Dave Thompson @dpt8684]

@scottcarlinpt @Jerry_DurhamPT @ShepDPT I’m my experience, there are years of knowledge to be gained before gaining the competency to take this step. No offense intended. We take a lot of students and serve as adjunct at several schools at our practice to give background to this opinion.

[Dave Thompson @dpt8684]

@MarkyKev @Jerry_DurhamPT @ShepDPT I think this is because of the model. Clinical education needs reform, as currently it can be up to a third of the curriculum (further $ in tuition) for the university without a vested relationship for the clinician mentor.

[Dave Thompson @dpt8684]

@mogulc @erinriediger Agree but cyclists also need to pay for license, registration, inspection, and accident insurance.

[Dave Thompson @dpt8684]

@AaronLeBauer Sure it can easily be done, for the right customer that expects a certain model of care. But there will always have to be another more traditional option for those with progressive neurological disease, autoimmune disease, complex medical, etc. Not to mention Medicaid.

[Dave Thompson @dpt8684]

@Steven_AK @LostOne519 @NAIOMT Seems more reasonable of a discussion for acute cases IMO.

[Dave Thompson @dpt8684]

@Steven_AK @AdamMeakins They also hit the “knowledge gap” acknowledgment head on.

[Dave Thompson @dpt8684]

@Steven_AK @Retlouping Devil’s advocate-what if it’s a matter of looking at mechanism from a different light-at times we may deny the psychometric integration of preference, bias, value, etc and are oversimplifying as placebo. Like looking at joint function without considering NM activation

[Dave Thompson @dpt8684]

@Steven_AK Looks like the guy ahead of that site put his own name way up there!

[Dave Thompson @dpt8684]

@barbellsnbirdie Because you probably didn’t need it to coach performance.
