APTA loan forgiveness survey

From my buddy Nate,

I wanted to call to your attention an email you may have received earlier today from us at APTA regarding student loan forgiveness. It went to all current PT students and all recent PT graduates that have been out for 5 years or less. Can you guys help to spread the word about this email and get students and new professionals to fill out the quick survey (it literally takes less than one minute to complete!). We don’t want people forwarding the email or copying-and-pasting the link, but rather filling it out from the email that they directly received. If you could just spread the word among your new professional and student colleagues to take a minute to fill it out, that would be amazing. The data that is gathered has the potential to be very helpful in our quest for student loan forgiveness opportunities for PTs.

Delay picture release

Here are some pictures of the world famous Brian Mulligan from his course I attended last October. This is my current pace of affairs, 8 months behind...


He was getting down on the floor fixing people, fairly awesome to see living legends at work.

Here is the flickr page with other Mulligan photos

varied practice

my first blog attempt on my HTC evo.
Saturdays I like to work either at acute care or another private practice that is fairly different from my usual practice. this is partly to help me pay off loans sooner, but also I find it very beneficial to see different populations and because the geographic location within nyc is far enough apart the diagnoses tend to be fairly different as well. Something I have been saying since I have gotten into PT is that I will likely never be bored thanks to the plethora of settings and populations that one can partake in.
1) how many of you out there work in varied settings through the week (any profession can answer)
2) the typing on this phone is a little more cumbersome than my old treo which had a physical keyboard compared to this here digital one... it slightly makes up for it with the autofill feature but requires a bit too much editing especially for longer bits of text

happy weekend!

Welcome Back

I am making yet another pledge to increase my blogging now that I have been away for so long...
I am getting the new Sprint phone within the next few days
Been staying busy reading, learning, working acute care a few weekends, ortho private practice the rest of the weekends, private patients, triathlon training, trying to put together an irb for a study, all on top of the regular "9-5" gig. It's fun being busy...
Talk to you guys soon.
