115 - PTs in the primary care space with Dr. Katie O'Bright
💭 “ Primary care means you are taking that whole health perspective. All systems, not just orthopedic musculoskeletal. You're taking everything into consideration when you are evaluating and managing these patients.” - Dr. Katie O'Bright
👉🏻 Our guest is Katie O'Bright, PT, DPT. Dr. O’Bright is a board-certified orthopedic Doctor of Physical Therapy, who graduated from Temple University in 2014. Upon graduation, she served in the United States Army as a Captain & physical therapist, primarily working in a multidisciplinary Soldier Centered Medical Home. She furthered her education in the Military Musculoskeletal Residency in 2017, at which point she obtained her OCS. After serving, she was the lead physical therapist at the University of Oklahoma’s Stephenson Cancer Center. In this team-based clinical setting, she enhanced her skills working with individuals with complex needs. Katie moved on to another multidisciplinary primary care practice in Pittsburgh before starting her own cash-based practice. She is a passionate educator who serves as adjunct faculty in several DPT programs.
