Physical therapy reimbursement on National Public Radio

This past week (June 6, 2011) National Public Radio aired a story limited reimbursement and its impact on PT care. It is quite good and brings to light an issue that hits pelvic PTs hard as we can only see one patient at a time.  It is relatively short but worth reading / listening to.  Bravo to NPR.  

June 8, 2011 Pelvic Physiotherapy Distance Journal Club

We had a good group Wednesday night for the research discussion.  Outline provided by Pam Downey was already emailed to the journal club members and will not be posted here.  Pam is working on a check sheet that can be used to review articles as you read them.  That will be posted when available.  The call was 70 minutes and packed with good information about how to read a research paper.  The recording is available for download if you were not on the call or if you want to listen to it again.  Ann has already picked articles for the July 6th call.  I am sure it will be another stimulating conversation.  Schedule for the rest of the year is below.  Have a great summer.
