Dr. Gail Deyle joins the show to discuss clinical reasoning, diagnostic skill, and the evidence supporting OMPT. A true clinician-scientist, Dr. Deyle has spent decades conducting clinical trials, mentoring fellowship-trained clinicians, and advocating for direct access and advanced evaluation skills in physical therapy.

In this episode we explore:

• Why PTs are essential contributors to global health

• Evidence showing OMPT’s high benefit and low risk

• The real impact of fellowship training on clinical outcomes

• Advanced interviewing and reasoning as core PT competencies

• The importance of diagnostic screening by PTs

• Direct access and why restrictions harm patients
