SnackBreak Episode #012 is my FIRST SOLO EPISODE! Woohoo. The purpose of these solo episodes is going to be to provide more insight into my experience within the field of PT, topics that interest me or I think are important, etc. On this first solo episode, I reflect on my five major takeaways from PT school, how to navigate negativity in the field of PT, and finally, if I could do it over again, what would I do differently and would I choose PT? A lot to digest here, shoot me a message if you would like to keep the conversation going! Enjoy!
