In this episode, we sit down with Lance Mabry from High Point University to discuss groundbreaking research on why only 20% of doctorally-trained physical therapists use the title 'Doctor' during patient introductions. We dive deep into the implications this has for patient trust, therapeutic alliance, and the future of the physical therapy profession. Lance and his co-authors, Dr. Justin Martino and Dr. James Smoliga, explore key demographic trends, legal considerations, and how the use of the 'Doctor' title can advance the profession.
