On part 2 of TAPE 6, Eddie and Evan sat down with Sean Bagbey to talk about: 

- Will athletic trainers bleed over into the PT's scope of practice?

- Focusing our time on educating about our services versus limiting other providers 

- Getting started by inserting yourself at the local level 

- Do what you do better than others and you can change the world

- Having to apologize to patients on behalf of other providers in our profession 

- The patient is in charge, but you get to effect the change

- Going back to a model of seeing one patient an hour 

- No one is 100% productive throughout a day 

- Making a cultural shift in our approach to care

Welcome to THE PTA TAPES... A podcast that goes, behind the scenes of physical therapy 

Health & Fitness

On the last episode from SSPT Live, I talked to F Scott, oneof the guys that helped get The PTA Tapes going. We talked about his podcast, the Healthcare Education Transformation podcast. What his top changes to DPT education programs would be, and his opinion on moving the PTA education from an AAS to a BS.

On the 2nd to last episode from SSPT Live, I talked to Ashlea Victor, a PTA who has worked in most if not all the settings and has had multiple stints as a clinic director as well as building a Rehab Department from scratch. We re-visit the "PTAs as clinic directors" debate and the hiring process of a PT.

In this episode, I spoke w/ Andy Tseng, aka The PT Doodler about his side hustle as an animator for APTA state associations and clinics. He's also both a DPT and MOT and talks about the differences and similarities between the two.

On the first interview from SSPT Live, I talked to Susie Lunardi, SPT.  A (soon to be) 2nd year DPT student in New York! She talks about how she got into PT and her brief stint as a body builder. What we need to do to relate to the high-level fitness athlete and how her DPT program requires the students to get their CSCS.

Just a quick intro into what SSPT Live is and why I went!
