The physical therapy profession is an evidenced-based one. Just ask any clinician, educator, or student over the last 15 years.

But physical therapists and physical therapist assistants treat humans. Whole persons with quirks and foibles and inconsistencies and flaws. And we are humans, with those same quirks and foibles and inconsistencies and flaws. How do we train our students to be clinicians who can empathize, connect, and identify with their patients?

Dr. Nicole Piemonte tells us about how important the humanities are in healthcare education (hint: it makes us better clinicians!).
