Physical therapy residencies are becoming more popular, but what are they actually?

Right before graduation, we were told that residencies were the future of PT, so we should hurry up & do one. But we only heard about neuro & ortho residencies...I didn't even know oncology had some until several years later!

Andrew Chongaway is a board certified oncologic clinical specialist (congrats!) & is sharing his experience going through the Beaumont oncology residency program. In our interview, we discuss the application process, how his residency affected his clinical practice, & much more.

In PT school, I remember practicing my history-taking skills for HOURS. I was so concerned I was going to miss something, so I interviewed classmates again & again until I felt confident. Well, that confidence went out the window once I started treating patients with cancer.

It's like when my brain heard "cancer," it just turned off. So I had to basically relearn how to take a history with these patients.

The good news? The basics are the same. But like with the rest of oncology, the devil is in the details. So in today's episode, we're covering the three parts of an oncology patient history you MUST have for every single patient.

Last week, we talked all about how to dose exercise safely for patients with non-metastatic cancer. In this episode, we're grabbing the bull by the horns & tackling metastatic cancer head-on. What can we even do exercise-wise when a patient has metastases?

Reminder: metastases are the cancer spreading to other places, often distant from the original cancer site. It's not just a group of errant cells wandering around; metastatic cancer cells damage the surrounding area, which may be bone, soft tissue, & or something else. Hence, why we must adjust exercise accordingly.

But do you know how?

In last week's episode, we discussed a recent case study with some really problematic results - check it out here. So how are we supposed to be safe when dosing exercise for our patients, to avoid DISASTROUS results (see Ep. 130)?

By dosing safely & smartly.

And by asking yourself these five questions, you'll be able to do exactly that.

A 1-rep max causes a vertebral fracture in a breast cancer survivor.

This is a loaded statement that we MUST unpack: A fabulous case report just came out discussing a vertebral fracture in 1 repetition maximum testing for a postmenopausal female after breast cancer treatment. The question is now: how do we safely assess & then prescribe exercise for our patients with a history (or currently experiencing) of cancer?

We know exercise is good. But how can we ensure safety?

ROM? Check. MMT? Check. Lymphedema measurements? Check.

I thought I had all my ducks in a row for assessing my patients, but I was neglecting a key component that affects LITERALLY all of these things & so much more. It was actually keeping my patients from improving significantly in many cases.

Any guesses yet?

SLEEP. I wrote everybody off as already having cancer-related fatigue, so I rarely asked questions about their sleep. What I was missing shocked me: patients unable to sleep through the night, sleeping on couches, & even sleeping on the floor. WHAT WAS I DOING???

It shocked me to my core, so now I ask about sleep with every patient. And I don't want you to miss any sleep issues with your patients anymore.
