In this episode with Dr. Brian Barney, we discuss our mutual interest of serving underserved communities. We discuss how socioeconomic and racial disparities influence access to care and what we can do to help solve that problem... a must listen.

I had a chance to sit down with Dr. Ryan Jacobsen, who is a pediatric PT clinical specialist about his perspective on the need for primary care PT in the pediatric space. We cover how you don't need to be a pediatric specialist in order to work with children in the primary care PT space! This is something near and dear to my heart as a parent of young boys and a topic we should all pay attention to!
