Physical therapists often feel pressure to collect certifications and letters after their name.

But does that actually make better clinicians?

In this episode, Jimmy talks with Clint Serafino and Nate Henry about why the PT profession needs more mentorship, deeper clinical reasoning, and better collaboration across healthcare disciplines.

They also share the story behind Global Physio Training, a nonprofit working to deliver hands-on clinical education to physical therapists in underserved communities like Cameroon.

Instead of focusing on expensive equipment or healthcare infrastructure, their mission focuses on something simpler — training clinicians.

Because better clinicians create better healthcare systems.
