General question for clinicians…. am just being contrarian if I get bristly when it is suggested implicitly or explicitly that residency and fellowship are the ways to obtain ‘proficiency’? #APTACSM pic.twitter.com/FxcCZVhYVj

Way to move! We hit our goal of 150 million steps at #APTACSM and will be donating $10K to @lubirds_light to construct a wheelchair swing in a Denver area park! pic.twitter.com/LbpmvzhGT6

Shifting focus from high volume to high value patient(person)-centered care

Why we became PTs- to work w/ ppl to achieve their goals and return them to living their optimal life.

May ⬇️ feelings of burnout if we focus ea session on achieving their goal not units #APTACSM pic.twitter.com/t4jeOLuBG2

We truly are better together. Our patients deserve our specialized collaborative care! Honored to be invited to @APTAtweets #APTACSM and join @AASPTweets @AASPTCollPro and @TheAMSSM in this venue to present best practices! Not MY athlete, OUR athlete. pic.twitter.com/XxDD7ic6k2

Avoid sport specialization in youth athletes! ⬆️ risk of burnout and overuse injuries #APTACSM pic.twitter.com/mJ8FPFBrsw

Reoccurring theme from #CSM2020: #ExerciseIsMedicine. You wouldn’t give a patient an arbitrary dosage of pharmacological agents, we shouldn’t do it with exercise. Exercise has effects just like medicine & can be ineffective or even harmful if it’s not dosed appropriately #APTACSM
