You are a skilled, thoughtful clinician, but you’re not perfect. Even the best OncoPTs have blind spots. 

In today’s episode, you’ll hear why feedback isn’t a sign of weakness—it’s an essential tool for growth, clinical excellence, and building confidence, especially when working in complex oncology rehab settings. 

We’ll also talk about how seeking feedback can make all the difference when writing your ABPTS Oncology Case Report, and how Case Report Writing Workshop can support you in finishing strong.

Too often, people living with and beyond cancer are sidelined from fitness—not because they can’t exercise, but because programs aren’t designed with their unique needs in mind. 

In this episode, Elise talks with Dr. Kaci and Dr. Reed Handlery, PTs, about building inclusive, sustainable community-based programs for people with mobility challenges—including those living with and beyond cancer. 

From the CSM stage to real-world community impact, Kaci and Reed share how they’re creating inclusive, adaptable programs that meet patients where they are—and empower them to go further. 

You’ll learn:

• The role of seated, high-intensity movement for oncology patients
• How to adapt exercise creatively for mobility impairments and other barriers
• What it takes to build and sustain inclusive fitness programs in your community
• How to identify and empower community champions to keep patients engaged

And best of all: you’ll be inspired to rethink what's possible in your exercise prescription—inside and outside the clinic.

Listen now to discover how you can bring this innovative, adaptable approach to your oncology patients!

Prostate cancer is extremely curable if caught early. However, men of color—especially African American men—are disproportionately diagnosed at advanced stages, facing significantly worse outcomes. 

Health inequities, systemic barriers, and stigma around discussing men’s health continue to delay critical testing and diagnosis, deeply impacting families and communities.

In this episode of TheOncoPT Podcast, Dr. Edward Wright opens up about his personal journey with prostate cancer and the mission behind the We Can Win Foundation. 

In this episode, you’ll dive into the pressing need for open conversations about men’s health, including the psychological and sexual health challenges that often go unspoken. 

You’ll also explore how community support and education can empower men to seek early detection and break the silence surrounding this disease. Through the We Can Win Foundation, Dr. Wright is working to create a safe space for men to share their experiences, access resources, and take charge of their health.

This episode is a powerful reminder of why OncoPTs must address these issues head-on and how you play a role in closing the gap in prostate cancer awareness and treatment.
