Why Gen Z PTs Are Leaving Clinics

Why are young physical therapists leaving good-paying jobs?

At CSM 2026, Devin Morris joins Jimmy McKay to break down the generational gap in physical therapy workplaces — and why understanding Gen Z isn’t optional for clinic owners anymore.

This conversation goes beyond stereotypes. It tackles burnout, workplace culture, student debt, retention, and how clinic owners can build environments where therapists actually want to stay.

If you own a clinic, manage therapists, or are navigating your early PT career, this episode matters.
