Any advice for colleagues just starting out? A wise therapist told me early in my career to "do a bunch of things." I took him up on his advice and worked hard to get experience in many different settings. This diversity of experiences early in my career has given me an advantage and a unique perspective.

What industry trend do you see growing? There is a lot of talk about evidence-based practice, and many therapists are successfully incorporating these practices into treatment of their patients. Employers and payors are turning their attention to evidence-based practice, and it is important for physical therapists to keep this in mind to secure their position.
Direct access for PT’s is becoming a reality. As a result, it is critical that therapists more effectively educate the public on the benefits of physical therapy so that they choose to see a PT first for appropriate problems.
I also believe it is important for physical therapists to broaden sources of revenue beyond third party payor income, such as cash-based business and niche markets.
