When I first started practicing as an OncoPT, I couldn’t wait to become an expert with all the answers.

Today, I realize that we don’t need all the answers to start helping our patients TODAY.
What we should be doing instead is filling the gaps in our knowledge.  One of the best ways to do this is by preparing to become a specialist.

In this Q&A session, I did with APTA Oncology Student & New Professional Subcommittee, we covered the basics on how specialization actually helps our patients (hint: it’s not because we have more letters after our name), how to specialize, & how to spread the word about cancer rehab in your own community.

I don’t know about you, but 2022 seems like a bit of a blur, now that it’s finally over.  Last year was a big year for growth & learning, with plenty of lessons I’m taking with me into the new year.

In today’s podcast episode, I’m sharing my 2022 recap, the lessons I’m taking to heart, & how I’m working to be the best OncoPT version of myself I can.  

I believe that by reflecting on the challenges of the past, we can use that knowledge to inform our actions and make the most of the opportunities that the new year has to offer. So, whether you're looking to improve your well-being, your OncoPT career, or your relationships, I know you'll find some inspiration here as you make plans for the year ahead.

Cancer & its treatments cause tremendous side effects that patients deal with both acutely & in the long-run.  

Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant (HSCT) is perhaps one of the most brutal treatments a person can undergo.  As Dr. Palazzo puts it, it’s like taking patients to the brink of death & bringing them back - intense, right?

The amazing news is: these patients can really benefit from cancer rehab services.  But actually implementing cancer rehab into the oncology continuum of care for HSCT patients has been really difficult…until now.

Drs. Mia Palazzo, Galen Schram, & Jenna DeSimone lay out exactly how they’ve implemented rehab from diagnosis & beyond for their patients undergoing HSCT.

You definitely don’t want to miss this interview (& their CSM session) if you’re struggling to implement cancer rehab in your setting, no matter the diagnosis!

Hands-down: this is probably the most USEFUL podcast episode you’ll listen to before 2023.

We’re bringing back THE Dr. Susan Maltser, DO.  She wrote the BIBLE OF BASICS when it comes to being safe with people who have or who have had cancer. 

We cover safety & red flags, plus how to not let fear (I see you, bone mets) stop us from being the best physical therapist possible for our patients.

So you want to work in OncoPT...but don't know how (or where) to start?  This episode is just for you!

Welcome to this week's Ask Me Anything, with Dr. Karen Rivera Yepiz.  She had a lot of AMAZING questions about finding a job, additional certifications, & so much more.

We’re wrapping up 2022 with some of our favorite episodes from the past year.  

In today’s wrap-up episode, Dr. Kalie Heftka, PT of Dr. Reams Concierge PT joins me to talk about opening her own cash-based oncology & lymphedema practice. People don't talk about the early stages of opening a private practice or the challenges of building a business from scratch. We're having a real raw conversation about what it's been like for Dr. Heftka to open her own practice.
