Hello everyone! Physical therapist here. I have a few questions regarding pro bono clinics, and how they operate. Any bit of information will help a ton. I am interested in starting an annual pro bono clinic for people who are uninsured. How are these type of patients normally recruited? Do...

Hello I'm a new grad PT. Anyone use Medbridge as their only continuing education source? $300 a year seems pretty nice to complete all your continuing credits in one platform. My understanding is you don't need to get it from anywhere else! Thoughts on Medbridge?

Hello everyone! Starting Home Health as a new grad. Any good resources/books that address the home health setting specifically you'd recommend? Documenting, treating, etc. Thanks! Would love and appreciate anything!

What's on the NPTE score report? Does it just tell you the overall score? I'd like to know my percentages for each section... Am I better off purchasing the performance feedback report?

Thank you so much! May I ask a couple of follow-up questions to help nail this concept down? 1) Does rotation alone cause "closing" and "gapping" on the opposite side? 2) Will coupling motions affect the "closing" and "gapping" rule? Would this answer change if the pain was noted with L...

Okay got it. So here's a couple follow-up question if you don't mind answering. 1) Does rotation alone cause "closing" and "gapping" on the opposite side? 2) Will coupling motions affect the "closing" and "gapping" rule? Would this answer change if the pain was noted with L sidebend, in...

Can someone please explain to me why choice #2 is the right answer? I've never quite understood the whole gapping and closing thing... Thanks so much! "A 21 year old female patient presents with neck pain and stiffness that has gradually worsened over the last two weeks. Upon examination, the...

I know there are previous threads of this similar posts, but wanted to resurface this question to stay updated. For those of you who passed the NPTE, mind sharing your practice test scores? Specifically with O'Sullivans, Scorebuilders, and PEATS. Also, anyone take the Scorebuilders review course...

Couldn't really find this answer anywhere. But what are the minimal number of hours (including CE) in a year you need to work to maintain your physical therapy license? I'd like to know for Georgia specifically. If there is a list that has all this that would be great too! Thanks everyone.

Hello all, I am 3rd year PT student. I was wondering the possibility of pursuing a private personal training job on the side once I graduate. Are there any PT's who do this? What is a reasonable price to charge given our background in biomechanics, anatomy, rehab, etc. I'm not saying we are...

I'm currently working on a project during my clinical rotation. Anyone familiar with any research studies discussing the effectiveness of student internships (physical therapy)? I've been trying to find some but no luck!

Hello all, I know this question may have been asked, but I would like clarification. Do PT schools care about your last semester, undergrad grades? I will be attending Emory University in the summer and am sincerely struggling in 2 of my classes and may receive C's. These are the hardest classes...
