116. The Importance of Support and Networks in Education Research: Lessons from Gamer and Beyond with Drs. Rick Segal and Gail Jensen

Looking to expand your network and collaborate with others in education research? Listen in to our latest episode, where we explore the importance of building strong connections with mentors and peers to drive successful education research

In this episode of the Healthcare Education Transformation Podcast, our guests Dr. Richard Segal and Dr. Gail M. Jensen, dive into the challenges facing education research and the importance of collaboration and transdisciplinarity in breaking down these barriers. We explore the need for deeper meaning in education research and our guests share insights into how to secure funding for pilot studies, and the importance of professional development plans for younger colleagues in the field.

Dr. Segal has over 30 years of experience carrying out rehabilitation-oriented Neuroscience research on motor control and spinal circuits. He served as a mentor for the past 15 years for the intensive grant writing workshops (first ERRIS and now TIGRR) with numerous mentees successfully attaining extramural funding following the workshop.

If you're a PT and you have student loan debt, you gotta talk to these guys. What makes them unique is that they view financial planning as like running hurdles on a track. And for PTs, the first hurdle many of us run into is student loan debt. Varela Financial will help you get over that hurdle. They not only take the time to explain to you which plans you individually qualify for and how those plans work, but they ALSO take the time to show you what YOUR individual case looks like mapped out within each option. So if you're looking for help on your student loan debt, or any area of your personal finances, we highly recommend working with them. You can check out Varela Financial out at varelafinancial.com.
