In this episode, Logan Burton, Brittany Clark, Grace Harrison, & Hannah Krantz will be discussing the do’s and, more importantly, the don’ts for DPT students and new grads entering the clinic. As current students, we feel that there is a disconnect between expectations and performance in the clinic. Our first guest, Ashley Campbell of the Nashville Sports Medicine and Orthopaedic Center, describes her stories from her time as a student PT and now as a clinical instructor. Our second guest, Dr. Suzanne Greenwalt, a professor at Belmont University and practicing therapist, discusses the biggest mistakes she has seen in the acute setting and how to avoid them. Both speakers provide tips to our listeners on how to go into a new clinical setting with confidence. We’ll also be sharing a few write-in stories from past students regarding their worst moments in the clinic!
