Second Chances

Integrated Clinical Experience, Part 2

We are back! Eleanor, Kyle, Rafa and I follow-up on our 1st clinical experience and share some lessons learned. This was the first time I have ever visited the south and had such an awesome experience! You already know there's a few funny stories sprinkled in there!

Integrated Clinical Experience, Part 1

Today I'd like to introduce my friends Rafa, Eleanor and Kyle as we discuss what our journey in PT school has been like so far as we prepare to go on our first 6-week rotation called an "integrated clinical experience"! This episode takes a peak into some specific challenges we had as a class, but dives into many tried and true aspects that would make one successful in a physical therapy program. Join us on this light-hearted episode as we discuss the good things, the not-so-great things, and some funny things that have occurred this last year and a half!

Tita Tea Time with Marie Fernandez

Psst. Anak. Halika dito right quick. Join me and Tita Marie Fernandez (SPT but soon to be PT, DPT) on this special episode which touches on Filipino culture and how it influences our perspective and practice as future physical therapists! As Asian-American and Pacific Islander Heritage month comes to a close, we hoped to bring you a touch of history, the genuine experience as Filipino-Americans navigating the "dream" that our parents wanted for us, and the beauty in the struggle that many of us go through as children of immigrants.

Second Chances

On today's episode, I had the privilege to speak with Erica Pang about very real uncertainties and struggles that come with starting PT school. She shares her ups, downs, and perseverance in taking a second chance for success!

"So... what were clinicals like in 2020?"

Clinical rotations during a pandemic?! Yes! On this episode, I interviewed 3 current student physical therapists (SPTs) who did their clinical rotations in 2020 and early 2021 while COVID-19 advisories were still in affect. Listen in as Jordan, Josiah, and Michael give their perspective on what it was like in addition to some helpful tips and encouraging words for SPTs who are preparing to go on their first clinical rotations!
