Pelvic floor dysfunction affects a significant number of cancer survivors. Many of these patients will not be referred to pelvic floor PT. Instead, they will end up in oncology PT for other reasons & will "happen" to also have pelvic floor issues. So can we actually help these patients as non-pelvic PTs?

The answer & how to actually implement this solution is in today's podcast episode - listen now!

Like it or not, COVID has significantly impacted oncology PT. Our ability to reach patients & treat them in a timely manner has changed dramatically. These changes have been largely negative. So what exactly has COVID revealed about how cancer rehab works?

As a profession, our methods of getting patients in the door (or getting referred to patients) is problematic. OncoPTs do not have a consistent seat at the table. We've got a lot of work to do still.

Are you ready to take action?

Oncology physical therapy is simply the coolest - we get to help patients after arguably the worst diagnosis imaginable. We see patients throughout the cancer care continuum, even until the end of their lives. It's a beautiful, sad, frustrating, wonderful opportunity to share this sacred space with these patients. But, we often have to jump right back into the whirlwind without really getting to grieve or process the loss of life because the next patient needs us too.

Our big hearts draw us to oncology patient care - this isn't a field where you can be only half-passionate about your work. It's because of that big heart that burnout is so very real. We don't always get the opportunity to honor our patients' memories the way we want, so we're going to try something:

As OncoPTs, we should constantly be learning, learning about cancers, new treatments, better ways to care for our patients, & how to continually advance our profession. For some, part of that journey is pursuing higher education, such as a PhD. For Steve Wechsler, he says pursuing his PhD is the best career decision he's made so far. So what exactly goes into earning your PhD, & why should you consider it?

Starting this past Sunday through tonight, I’m hosting a free workshop series called “Kickstart Your Oncology Evals,” which will help you know what questions to ask, what tests & measures to perform, & what all that info means in an oncology evaluation.  Evals are often the first interactions with our patients, which means we need to make a good impression & build that rapport in order to start helping that patient to the best of our ability now!

Watch Day 4 of the workshop tonight! https://www.facebook.com/theoncoPT/live/
