In this video, we explore the advanced level of practice within primary care—both in medicine and physical therapy. Just as primary care physicians refine their skills and deepen their clinical reasoning through residency, physical therapists also have the opportunity to practice at a higher level. This involves enhanced efficiency, sharper differential diagnosis skills, and a more refined clinical approach beyond entry-level education. Tune in to learn how continued training and experience elevate the quality of care

In this video, we explore the unique role of Primary Care Physical Therapy, often described as "three miles wide and three feet deep. Unlike traditional specialty areas like orthopedics, neuro, or pediatrics—which dive deeply into one body system—primary care PT offers a broad, holistic view across multiple systems. While the depth in each specific area may vary, this approach allows therapists to assess and manage a wide range of conditions, serving as a vital first point of contact. Importantly, primary care and specialty expertise aren't mutually exclusive—practitioners can blend both to provide comprehensive, patient-centered care.

In this video, we dive into the incredible evolution of the physical therapy profession—from our beginnings as reconstruction aides to becoming diagnosticians who can order imaging and potentially serve as primary care providers. As the field continues to grow with exciting advancements, such as primary care physical therapy on the horizon, it's more important than ever for PTs to stay curious, branch out, and explore beyond the standard orthopedic courses. Embracing new knowledge not only reignites your passion but also enhances your ability to care for patients. Let’s keep evolving—together.
