The PT Assistants

The time is ticking for Ken to start a new journey. Now comes the balance between work, podcasting, and parenthood. Pat shares some of his journey and advice for Ken as this new chapter begins. There is so much knowledge to absorb as one gets ready to become a parent, how much of that sticks? Who knows because every child is different. However, Ken will take in everything he can so that he's prepared when the time comes. We also have a little chat at the end about FF, tune in to that as well!

Typically PTAs aren't really looked at during an emergency situation. Outpatient we typically have our supervising PT and in a hospital, it's every one but the therapy team. However, when working in home health, you're the only healthcare provider available at times. Jen has a story for us today that had her be the first responder. Jen walks us through her situation and how she handled it. This is to help raise awareness for PTAs everywhere to always be prepared in any given situation because if it's one thing we know, anything can happen.

Sometimes things aren't as straight forward as they seem. We must take it upon ourselves to do the research and see what is relevant to what is presented in front of us. Joe has over 10 years of experience being a PTA and is here to share his experience in gaining critical thinking skills as well as how he has applied them. Everyone will have a different approach, but as we know, critical thinking is a must have skill in this field. Let's get right into it.

Welcome to another episode! Today we ponder on the thought of whether or not AI can replace PTAs. We asked AI to guide us through a short story of a treatment conducted by an AI and how it would look. Now we discuss on whether or not this is actually possible? If it is, then who it's for and whether or not it's practical for all patients!
