As a new grad PT, do you feel frustrated on how to treat patients beyond what you learn? Do you want to continue practicing clinical skills but there's only so much you can do within the limitations of your educational background? How can you think outside the box and be able to provide exceptional care without forgetting the clinical experience and guiding patients to achieve their goals?

He is the owner of Wellness Hub in Gainesville, Florida where clients are empowered to take charge of their health.

This week’s Healthcare Hacks and Connection, Nathan Navas and Santi Villamil will talk about his philosophy of “Keep it simple, sweet and powerful.” And how to overcome the limitations of Physical Therapy treatment by thinking beyond in order to guide patients past an injury or towards achieving a new physical fitness goal.

They will touch on such topics as:

• How to take an "outside thinker" approach to PT evaluation in order to create an individualized treatment plan for your goals. 
• How overcoming the new grad PTs' struggle with decreasing reimbursement is a big challenge. 
• People start to become more mindful of their “why” and whether they are serving their purpose.
• Don't lose who you are and your passion in treating your patients in healthcare, you can still make an impact in the healthcare system. 
• Involving clients in the intervention process makes them better able to understand and improve upon their own health. 
• What is the Art of Rehabilitation? 
• Clinical freedom is the freedom to provide treatment that reflects the patient's best interests and needs. 

Hack: Unleash your clinical intuition.
