Physical therapy can’t survive on “me, me, me” messaging. Dr. Lisa VanHoose breaks down why rehabilitation deserts are growing, why gatekeeping admissions is fueling the PT workforce shortage, and what it looks like to rebuild the profession around community, access, and relational capacity—not just credentials and productivity.


We talk rural retention, community-based rehab, why “bootstraps” is a myth in healthcare design, and how the Ujima Institute is building real-world mobility support through food access, youth training, health literacy, and neighbor-to-neighbor infrastructure.

00:00:00.389 --> 00:00:02.250
You're listening to the PT Pinecast,

00:00:02.330 --> 00:00:04.370
where smart people in healthcare come to

00:00:04.429 --> 00:00:05.270
make noise.

00:00:05.631 --> 00:00:07.091
Here's your host, Jimmy McKay.

00:00:07.110 --> 00:00:11.692
All right, some people build careers.

00:00:12.272 --> 00:00:13.473
Some people build programs.

00:00:13.493 --> 00:00:15.333
Some people build platforms.

00:00:15.534 --> 00:00:16.713
Some people build podcasts.

00:00:17.847 --> 00:00:20.288
Tonight's guest builds communities,

00:00:20.367 --> 00:00:21.147
and that's different.

00:00:21.528 --> 00:00:23.489
She's a physical therapist by trade,

00:00:24.070 --> 00:00:26.431
but she refuses to accept that access to

00:00:26.490 --> 00:00:28.111
care is accidental.

00:00:28.852 --> 00:00:31.492
She believes neighborhoods actually shape

00:00:31.533 --> 00:00:31.832
health.

00:00:32.052 --> 00:00:34.533
She believes education shapes workforce.

00:00:35.154 --> 00:00:37.755
And she believes we cannot complain about

00:00:37.875 --> 00:00:41.156
workforce shortages while gatekeeping

00:00:41.957 --> 00:00:42.997
Who gets into the profession?

00:00:43.618 --> 00:00:45.920
She talks about rehabilitation deserts,

00:00:46.220 --> 00:00:47.262
about isolation,

00:00:47.442 --> 00:00:51.026
about the cost of forgetting that we

00:00:51.165 --> 00:00:52.408
belong to each other.

00:00:52.927 --> 00:00:55.490
And she designs education the way urban

00:00:55.511 --> 00:00:57.552
planners design cities.

00:00:58.073 --> 00:00:59.534
And that's with intentionality,

00:01:02.787 --> 00:01:03.228
I just screwed up.

00:01:03.247 --> 00:01:03.787
I'll edit this out.

00:01:04.728 --> 00:01:06.551
Intentionality and with the future in

00:01:06.611 --> 00:01:06.992
mind.

00:01:07.591 --> 00:01:09.493
She's the founder of the Ujima Institute

00:01:09.534 --> 00:01:12.477
and she's here to both inspire and

00:01:12.617 --> 00:01:14.317
irritate you in the best ways.

00:01:15.099 --> 00:01:16.960
Let's welcome to the show Lisa Van Hoose.

00:01:17.301 --> 00:01:18.182
Lisa, welcome to the show.

00:01:18.683 --> 00:01:19.903
Did you like that one?

00:01:20.084 --> 00:01:21.004
I did like that one.

00:01:21.105 --> 00:01:22.706
I was like, I want to meet her.

00:01:22.725 --> 00:01:24.367
I was like, who is that?

00:01:24.487 --> 00:01:25.509
I want to go have a cup of

00:01:25.549 --> 00:01:26.209
coffee with her.

00:01:26.882 --> 00:01:29.307
Wouldn't that be a cool exercise to do

00:01:29.326 --> 00:01:31.611
with like a seventeen-year-old and be like

00:01:31.852 --> 00:01:33.213
write a bio

00:01:34.052 --> 00:01:36.453
of a man or a woman that you

00:01:36.474 --> 00:01:39.114
would love to meet in twenty years and

00:01:39.155 --> 00:01:42.215
then see what they describe and then go,

00:01:42.594 --> 00:01:43.715
why did you describe that?

00:01:43.756 --> 00:01:43.855
Well,

00:01:43.876 --> 00:01:45.456
that's because that's what we kind of do.

00:01:45.516 --> 00:01:45.676
Right.

00:01:45.695 --> 00:01:47.996
I'm sure psychologists would psychologize

00:01:48.137 --> 00:01:49.216
what I just did and be like, well,

00:01:49.236 --> 00:01:51.397
yeah, we will become the thing you needed.

00:01:51.477 --> 00:01:51.697
Right.

00:01:51.718 --> 00:01:52.957
That's what we hopefully we become.

00:01:52.977 --> 00:01:54.118
Right.

00:01:54.159 --> 00:01:56.358
And then and then the exercise is how

00:01:56.379 --> 00:01:57.680
do you go from here to there?

00:01:58.340 --> 00:01:59.361
Now that you have the end,

00:01:59.561 --> 00:02:01.340
how do you where you're not going to

00:02:01.361 --> 00:02:02.061
do it overnight?

00:02:02.141 --> 00:02:03.802
That person did not become that person

00:02:03.862 --> 00:02:04.302
overnight.

00:02:04.862 --> 00:02:06.004
What are the three things you need to

00:02:06.024 --> 00:02:07.084
do in the next three years?

00:02:07.183 --> 00:02:09.205
What are the things you need to do

00:02:09.224 --> 00:02:10.004
in the next twenty years?

00:02:10.705 --> 00:02:11.165
Yes.

00:02:11.265 --> 00:02:13.586
And what is the delayed gratification that

00:02:13.627 --> 00:02:15.587
has to happen right for you to be

00:02:15.627 --> 00:02:16.868
able to become that thing?

00:02:17.288 --> 00:02:20.009
Because we're so consumed with I want to

00:02:20.030 --> 00:02:21.211
feel good right now.

00:02:21.330 --> 00:02:23.211
And so then when things get hard,

00:02:23.891 --> 00:02:25.532
people get a little nervous when you get

00:02:25.573 --> 00:02:26.453
to the messy middle.

00:02:26.834 --> 00:02:28.875
But that's where the development happens.

00:02:29.515 --> 00:02:32.798
Seth Godin calls it the dip.

00:02:32.957 --> 00:02:34.778
Some other writer calls it the suck.

00:02:34.899 --> 00:02:36.379
They're like, it's going to suck.

00:02:36.819 --> 00:02:38.540
I worked in a radio station.

00:02:38.580 --> 00:02:40.703
My job was hang out, play music,

00:02:40.763 --> 00:02:43.223
be fun, give away concert tickets.

00:02:43.503 --> 00:02:45.044
And there were still hard parts of the

00:02:45.064 --> 00:02:45.344
job,

00:02:45.384 --> 00:02:48.026
parts that other people didn't see all the

00:02:48.067 --> 00:02:48.347
time.

00:02:48.706 --> 00:02:51.449
But I'll tell you, because we liked it,

00:02:52.229 --> 00:02:53.991
we got through the suck.

00:02:54.031 --> 00:02:55.592
You're able to show up.

00:02:56.479 --> 00:02:57.799
put on a happy face,

00:02:58.439 --> 00:03:00.039
and continue to do the things that needed

00:03:00.060 --> 00:03:03.121
to be done when things aren't going right.

00:03:03.181 --> 00:03:06.502
And that's sort of when you know you

00:03:06.522 --> 00:03:09.544
found the thing that you're aligned with

00:03:09.663 --> 00:03:14.164
or good at is it's always a job.

00:03:14.544 --> 00:03:15.645
It's always difficult.

00:03:16.466 --> 00:03:17.986
But when you're like, okay,

00:03:18.247 --> 00:03:18.826
what do I need?

00:03:19.026 --> 00:03:20.046
I need a big inhale.

00:03:20.526 --> 00:03:21.647
I need a big exhale.

00:03:22.307 --> 00:03:24.829
And I'll just keep doing it.

00:03:25.747 --> 00:03:26.149
That's it.

00:03:27.150 --> 00:03:27.389
All right.

00:03:27.409 --> 00:03:28.632
So we lost you for a second.

00:03:28.752 --> 00:03:29.513
Do we have you back?

00:03:30.354 --> 00:03:31.975
Hold on just for a second.

00:03:32.015 --> 00:03:33.317
That's so crazy.

00:03:34.378 --> 00:03:35.400
So we lost you for a second.

00:03:35.419 --> 00:03:36.822
But what I was saying was...

00:03:39.211 --> 00:03:40.711
You know you're in a good spot or

00:03:40.731 --> 00:03:43.292
you're doing a job that you're aligned to

00:03:43.331 --> 00:03:44.793
do or good to do or want to

00:03:44.832 --> 00:03:47.573
do when the suck shows up or the

00:03:47.652 --> 00:03:49.373
dip shows up and you're still like,

00:03:49.894 --> 00:03:50.614
this is hard,

00:03:50.633 --> 00:03:53.115
but there's a reason for it.

00:03:53.175 --> 00:03:54.235
I was having a call with a guy

00:03:54.254 --> 00:03:54.694
yesterday.

00:03:54.715 --> 00:03:55.854
He's a career coach.

00:03:55.875 --> 00:03:57.216
Do you know Lucas Van Etten?

00:03:57.395 --> 00:03:57.895
He's cool.

00:03:58.256 --> 00:03:58.975
He's from Michigan.

00:03:59.135 --> 00:03:59.716
He's a PT.

00:03:59.756 --> 00:04:01.417
He does wild things.

00:04:01.456 --> 00:04:04.337
He was just asking me questions.

00:04:04.358 --> 00:04:05.798
He was motivational interviewing me.

00:04:07.074 --> 00:04:07.713
And he was like, well,

00:04:07.734 --> 00:04:08.675
what are you willing to like?

00:04:09.914 --> 00:04:11.175
What if it was really heavy,

00:04:11.355 --> 00:04:12.355
would you still lift it?

00:04:13.276 --> 00:04:14.676
And he asked me this question because I'm

00:04:14.697 --> 00:04:15.176
looking for like,

00:04:15.217 --> 00:04:16.778
what do I do with my next twenty

00:04:16.817 --> 00:04:17.038
years?

00:04:17.077 --> 00:04:17.958
What job do I do?

00:04:18.478 --> 00:04:18.838
And he was like,

00:04:19.278 --> 00:04:21.480
if I checked like four out of five

00:04:21.519 --> 00:04:24.180
boxes for you in terms of like how

00:04:24.221 --> 00:04:24.800
much do you make,

00:04:24.880 --> 00:04:26.601
what your day to day, whatever.

00:04:26.622 --> 00:04:28.081
But you work for Samsung.

00:04:28.182 --> 00:04:30.163
And I'm like, the TV company goes, yeah.

00:04:30.603 --> 00:04:31.682
Would you take that job?

00:04:31.783 --> 00:04:33.324
And I was like, no.

00:04:33.363 --> 00:04:34.004
And he's like, why?

00:04:34.024 --> 00:04:35.165
I'm like, there's no fight there.

00:04:35.935 --> 00:04:36.937
Like there's no heart there.

00:04:36.956 --> 00:04:38.357
There's nothing more.

00:04:38.377 --> 00:04:39.158
I don't know.

00:04:39.197 --> 00:04:40.379
Does the world need more TVs?

00:04:40.579 --> 00:04:41.139
I don't care.

00:04:41.298 --> 00:04:41.738
Like me.

00:04:41.838 --> 00:04:42.240
I don't know.

00:04:42.680 --> 00:04:43.579
No, I don't think so.

00:04:43.620 --> 00:04:46.041
Like I have a TV, but that's it.

00:04:46.422 --> 00:04:46.901
So it's like, I need,

00:04:47.202 --> 00:04:48.762
I need there to be a thing.

00:04:48.802 --> 00:04:50.064
I'm sure someone out there is like,

00:04:50.444 --> 00:04:52.826
I love selling TVs and that's good for

00:04:52.846 --> 00:04:53.406
that person.

00:04:54.065 --> 00:04:55.047
That is not enough for me.

00:04:55.067 --> 00:04:57.048
Yeah.

00:04:57.067 --> 00:04:58.829
And I think like in Eastern cultures,

00:04:58.869 --> 00:05:00.089
they talk about that, right?

00:05:00.129 --> 00:05:01.750
That for longevity,

00:05:01.831 --> 00:05:03.612
you have to have a purpose, right?

00:05:04.286 --> 00:05:05.947
And sometimes in America,

00:05:06.007 --> 00:05:09.449
we try to make purpose into like this

00:05:09.528 --> 00:05:10.889
huge, big thing.

00:05:10.949 --> 00:05:11.250
Right.

00:05:11.670 --> 00:05:12.610
But they're like, no,

00:05:12.629 --> 00:05:14.750
just what is it that brings you joy

00:05:14.831 --> 00:05:15.511
every day?

00:05:15.670 --> 00:05:16.331
And like you said,

00:05:16.391 --> 00:05:17.752
it might be selling TVs.

00:05:18.252 --> 00:05:19.872
But for you, it's this, you know,

00:05:19.992 --> 00:05:21.913
connecting with people and being able to

00:05:21.952 --> 00:05:22.853
spread messages.

00:05:23.514 --> 00:05:25.555
But everybody's got to do the self-work to

00:05:25.615 --> 00:05:27.475
figure out what their why is.

00:05:27.716 --> 00:05:28.696
Why do they get out of bed?

00:05:29.391 --> 00:05:31.653
I shared a post and this wasn't the

00:05:31.673 --> 00:05:32.913
direction of what we were going to talk

00:05:32.934 --> 00:05:33.194
about.

00:05:33.494 --> 00:05:34.214
I didn't know it was,

00:05:34.254 --> 00:05:36.755
but I have this slide always haltered.

00:05:36.815 --> 00:05:37.817
You've heard about this, right?

00:05:37.836 --> 00:05:38.276
The Aiki guy?

00:05:38.297 --> 00:05:39.858
Yeah.

00:05:39.877 --> 00:05:41.678
The reason for being, right?

00:05:41.699 --> 00:05:43.540
And so it's three interlocking circles.

00:05:44.100 --> 00:05:44.920
And let me see if I can do

00:05:44.940 --> 00:05:45.761
it without looking at it.

00:05:45.781 --> 00:05:46.901
It's what you're good at.

00:05:48.206 --> 00:05:49.406
what the world needs,

00:05:49.726 --> 00:05:51.048
what you can get paid for.

00:05:51.208 --> 00:05:52.108
We'll get back to that one.

00:05:52.408 --> 00:05:54.250
And then what you're good at,

00:05:54.269 --> 00:05:54.769
what you love.

00:05:54.930 --> 00:05:56.211
So being good at something doesn't mean

00:05:56.230 --> 00:05:56.692
you love it.

00:05:56.992 --> 00:05:57.992
Like I might be the world's best

00:05:58.072 --> 00:06:00.894
bartender, but if I'm like, whatever.

00:06:01.694 --> 00:06:02.815
So those two things are different.

00:06:03.735 --> 00:06:06.158
And some people might poo-poo to get paid

00:06:06.218 --> 00:06:06.557
for.

00:06:07.038 --> 00:06:07.499
And I'm like, well,

00:06:07.519 --> 00:06:09.360
you have to be able to support yourself.

00:06:09.540 --> 00:06:12.521
Like good vibes doesn't pay the mortgage

00:06:12.601 --> 00:06:13.642
and put food on the table.

00:06:13.682 --> 00:06:13.983
So like,

00:06:14.684 --> 00:06:17.485
are you providing something of value?

00:06:18.485 --> 00:06:20.146
to get value out so you can support

00:06:20.166 --> 00:06:20.547
yourself.

00:06:20.687 --> 00:06:22.427
And the idea of the ikigai,

00:06:22.447 --> 00:06:23.548
which anybody can Google it,

00:06:24.048 --> 00:06:25.228
four interlocking circles,

00:06:25.249 --> 00:06:26.370
those four things I just said,

00:06:26.689 --> 00:06:27.509
where it crosses.

00:06:27.610 --> 00:06:29.310
I don't even know if I'm saying this

00:06:29.331 --> 00:06:29.430
right.

00:06:29.451 --> 00:06:30.692
I need to talk to a Japanese person

00:06:30.711 --> 00:06:31.851
because I keep calling it ikigai.

00:06:31.932 --> 00:06:32.713
Ikigai, ikigai.

00:06:33.632 --> 00:06:35.733
it's reason for being it's like when you

00:06:35.754 --> 00:06:37.574
find the center of all four of those

00:06:37.675 --> 00:06:40.317
that's your jam and that is a very

00:06:40.396 --> 00:06:42.517
simple equation to say but it's not

00:06:42.538 --> 00:06:44.199
necessarily easy to do because the world

00:06:44.240 --> 00:06:46.021
is always the world is just changing like

00:06:46.040 --> 00:06:48.041
a rubik's cube all the time and finding

00:06:48.081 --> 00:06:50.502
where that spot is for you was always

00:06:50.543 --> 00:06:53.845
different very true very true because i

00:06:53.865 --> 00:06:56.107
mean like you know and simon sinek talks

00:06:56.166 --> 00:06:58.208
about asking your friends right

00:06:58.802 --> 00:07:00.723
Ask the people around you what you're good

00:07:00.824 --> 00:07:01.064
at,

00:07:01.464 --> 00:07:03.987
because we often most of us have been

00:07:04.028 --> 00:07:06.790
conditioned through our trauma stories to

00:07:06.911 --> 00:07:08.512
always think negative about ourselves.

00:07:08.533 --> 00:07:10.435
So he's like, ask some other people like,

00:07:10.514 --> 00:07:11.696
why are you my friend?

00:07:12.297 --> 00:07:13.577
Why are you my neighbor?

00:07:14.079 --> 00:07:14.278
Yeah.

00:07:14.399 --> 00:07:15.880
Why are you my therapist?

00:07:16.569 --> 00:07:16.850
Yeah.

00:07:17.451 --> 00:07:19.052
I brought this up on LinkedIn for a

00:07:19.112 --> 00:07:19.413
while,

00:07:20.213 --> 00:07:22.375
sort of like pointing out to healthcare

00:07:22.396 --> 00:07:22.817
providers,

00:07:22.836 --> 00:07:24.158
because that's usually who I talk to or

00:07:24.177 --> 00:07:25.499
I like to talk to on the internet.

00:07:26.319 --> 00:07:29.242
And the pitch or the angle was like,

00:07:29.663 --> 00:07:33.348
I see you talking about features of what

00:07:33.387 --> 00:07:34.809
you bring.

00:07:35.250 --> 00:07:36.690
And I want to not nitpick,

00:07:36.711 --> 00:07:37.692
but I want to show you the difference

00:07:37.711 --> 00:07:39.254
between features and benefits.

00:07:40.802 --> 00:07:42.723
Nobody hangs out with Jimmy because he has

00:07:42.803 --> 00:07:44.764
brown hair and he's five foot nine and

00:07:44.785 --> 00:07:45.685
drives a Toyota.

00:07:47.367 --> 00:07:48.747
I don't think so anyway.

00:07:48.767 --> 00:07:51.610
That doesn't really bring my friends who

00:07:51.670 --> 00:07:53.312
choose or not choose to hang out with

00:07:53.331 --> 00:07:53.372
me.

00:07:53.711 --> 00:07:54.473
That's not why.

00:07:54.692 --> 00:07:55.634
But in healthcare, we're like,

00:07:55.694 --> 00:07:57.595
I have a doctoral degree and I have

00:07:57.634 --> 00:07:59.516
twelve years of experience and this.

00:07:59.536 --> 00:08:02.158
I'm like, that is valid and logical,

00:08:02.478 --> 00:08:04.680
but that's not why people come to you.

00:08:04.721 --> 00:08:06.281
You are exactly correct, right?

00:08:06.721 --> 00:08:07.802
Exactly correct.

00:08:08.504 --> 00:08:09.043
I hang out

00:08:09.625 --> 00:08:10.824
with you because of your shirt.

00:08:10.884 --> 00:08:12.925
Like that is true.

00:08:13.225 --> 00:08:14.326
I do love the shirt.

00:08:14.446 --> 00:08:15.286
I do love the shirt.

00:08:15.586 --> 00:08:17.387
But I think we forget that we are

00:08:17.447 --> 00:08:18.547
relational beings.

00:08:18.567 --> 00:08:18.766
Yes.

00:08:19.687 --> 00:08:22.208
And some of that I think is because

00:08:22.247 --> 00:08:23.788
of the way in which we gate people

00:08:23.927 --> 00:08:26.848
into health care professions where we only

00:08:26.908 --> 00:08:29.649
allow you in if you have certain features.

00:08:30.269 --> 00:08:30.689
Correct.

00:08:30.769 --> 00:08:31.149
Correct.

00:08:31.170 --> 00:08:33.691
But then we know that those features don't

00:08:33.730 --> 00:08:35.431
translate to bedside manner.

00:08:36.038 --> 00:08:38.217
which is what the consumers are looking

00:08:38.238 --> 00:08:38.839
for, right?

00:08:39.099 --> 00:08:41.259
And that's what patients are looking at.

00:08:41.658 --> 00:08:42.239
Exactly.

00:08:43.019 --> 00:08:45.179
So it dictates outcomes more than

00:08:45.279 --> 00:08:47.039
anything, your relational capacity.

00:08:48.500 --> 00:08:49.201
Yeah, it's wild.

00:08:49.301 --> 00:08:50.900
But I'm not in education.

00:08:50.941 --> 00:08:51.821
You've been in education.

00:08:51.961 --> 00:08:56.081
How would you include that in the process?

00:08:56.261 --> 00:08:58.042
How would you do that?

00:08:58.701 --> 00:09:00.763
So, Jimmy, let me tell you how.

00:09:00.783 --> 00:09:01.322
Here we go.

00:09:03.230 --> 00:09:05.691
I think that academic metrics are

00:09:05.731 --> 00:09:06.711
important, right?

00:09:06.751 --> 00:09:08.832
Because there is a correlation between

00:09:08.852 --> 00:09:10.734
those and passing the MPTE.

00:09:11.514 --> 00:09:13.796
But I really think a third of that

00:09:13.855 --> 00:09:16.956
admissions has got to be what service

00:09:17.057 --> 00:09:18.398
opportunities have you done?

00:09:18.857 --> 00:09:19.658
Like, I'm like...

00:09:21.539 --> 00:09:25.341
Admit every waitress, every busboy,

00:09:25.421 --> 00:09:27.081
every porter that you know,

00:09:27.442 --> 00:09:28.763
childcare workers,

00:09:29.062 --> 00:09:30.823
like the people that have had to serve

00:09:30.903 --> 00:09:31.323
others.

00:09:31.563 --> 00:09:33.365
So if you've had to be a formal

00:09:33.445 --> 00:09:35.005
or an informal caregiver,

00:09:35.405 --> 00:09:38.287
like we need to value that commitment to

00:09:38.366 --> 00:09:38.927
service.

00:09:39.868 --> 00:09:43.190
Because that actually might be what turns

00:09:43.230 --> 00:09:45.751
the tide between a good clinician and an

00:09:45.892 --> 00:09:47.072
excellent clinician.

00:09:47.932 --> 00:09:50.575
It's that ability to recognize and attend

00:09:50.615 --> 00:09:51.615
to the needs of others.

00:09:51.936 --> 00:09:53.296
And you're not always going to see that

00:09:53.355 --> 00:09:55.477
in a GPA.

00:09:55.817 --> 00:09:56.738
I did the things.

00:09:56.798 --> 00:09:57.859
I brought the meal.

00:09:58.499 --> 00:10:00.039
Why was that not a good service?

00:10:00.080 --> 00:10:01.640
It's like, if you were a waiter,

00:10:01.760 --> 00:10:02.302
you know.

00:10:02.741 --> 00:10:03.763
I never made eye contact.

00:10:03.783 --> 00:10:04.763
I never said anything.

00:10:04.903 --> 00:10:06.524
My mood sucked.

00:10:06.563 --> 00:10:07.325
You learn that.

00:10:08.327 --> 00:10:10.634
quickly or you get beaten you get thrown

00:10:10.714 --> 00:10:12.057
out like you're not i don't want you

00:10:12.097 --> 00:10:13.522
here because that's really what you're

00:10:13.562 --> 00:10:15.346
selling i can get a bowl of ziti

00:10:15.366 --> 00:10:16.208
kind of anywhere

00:10:17.471 --> 00:10:19.274
Um, I forget who was talking about that.

00:10:19.354 --> 00:10:20.335
Oh, John Taffer.

00:10:20.634 --> 00:10:22.076
He runs that show bar rescue.

00:10:22.116 --> 00:10:23.398
So he's like a food and beverage guy

00:10:23.418 --> 00:10:23.938
in Vegas.

00:10:23.979 --> 00:10:24.458
And he's just,

00:10:24.899 --> 00:10:26.160
he's like understanding the science.

00:10:26.181 --> 00:10:28.482
And he's like the difference between good

00:10:28.503 --> 00:10:31.865
food and great food is, is so small.

00:10:32.027 --> 00:10:32.287
Right.

00:10:32.326 --> 00:10:33.587
In terms of, of overall,

00:10:33.927 --> 00:10:36.130
like what people view as a restaurant and

00:10:36.150 --> 00:10:36.991
they go, but the different,

00:10:37.052 --> 00:10:38.773
if you have great food with shitty

00:10:38.812 --> 00:10:40.274
service, I'm never coming back.

00:10:41.274 --> 00:10:41.654
Exactly.

00:10:41.695 --> 00:10:43.917
Great service with like crappy food.

00:10:43.976 --> 00:10:45.918
I'll give you another chance, right?

00:10:45.977 --> 00:10:47.719
So I'm not discounting the quality of a

00:10:47.818 --> 00:10:50.201
chef, but like even the chefs know,

00:10:50.902 --> 00:10:52.081
if I put out this great meal and

00:10:52.142 --> 00:10:55.644
you act like a jerk, I got nothing.

00:10:55.784 --> 00:10:59.027
Why do we treat healthcare differently?

00:10:59.106 --> 00:11:00.207
Is it because it's formal?

00:11:00.227 --> 00:11:01.347
Because it's science-y?

00:11:01.389 --> 00:11:02.889
Because it's more, I don't know.

00:11:02.950 --> 00:11:03.289
Why?

00:11:03.450 --> 00:11:04.110
Why is that?

00:11:04.791 --> 00:11:07.292
Well, I think somewhere during history,

00:11:07.413 --> 00:11:11.054
we tied healthcare with mobility, right?

00:11:11.522 --> 00:11:13.903
It kind of became this artificial royalty

00:11:14.384 --> 00:11:16.907
to, you know, this person is the doctor.

00:11:16.947 --> 00:11:18.668
It doesn't matter how they treat me

00:11:18.969 --> 00:11:20.471
because I'm just getting seen by the

00:11:20.510 --> 00:11:20.870
doctor.

00:11:20.890 --> 00:11:22.793
It's kind of like I'm getting to go

00:11:22.852 --> 00:11:23.894
to the king, right?

00:11:25.294 --> 00:11:27.596
And unfortunately, right now, health care,

00:11:27.636 --> 00:11:28.758
just like education,

00:11:28.857 --> 00:11:30.139
you get paid regardless.

00:11:30.159 --> 00:11:31.081
Yeah.

00:11:31.100 --> 00:11:32.341
If it's crappy care or not,

00:11:32.642 --> 00:11:33.802
you get paid regardless.

00:11:33.822 --> 00:11:34.484
Uh-huh.

00:11:35.005 --> 00:11:36.967
I had an article about that not long

00:11:36.989 --> 00:11:37.509
ago on LinkedIn,

00:11:37.528 --> 00:11:38.850
and I got a lot of I agrees,

00:11:38.890 --> 00:11:40.111
and I got a few like, well,

00:11:40.131 --> 00:11:41.693
that's not the case because...

00:11:41.975 --> 00:11:43.155
And they were going one level deeper.

00:11:43.176 --> 00:11:44.417
They were like, well,

00:11:45.097 --> 00:11:47.240
if I give good care or quality care

00:11:47.260 --> 00:11:48.062
or good experience,

00:11:48.081 --> 00:11:49.464
people will come back more often.

00:11:49.864 --> 00:11:51.405
Yes, agreed.

00:11:51.966 --> 00:11:52.868
But then the person giving...

00:11:53.995 --> 00:11:55.397
mediocre care will just be like,

00:11:55.456 --> 00:11:56.798
I'll just spend a little more on ads

00:11:56.837 --> 00:11:58.458
and I'll just keep giving mediocre care.

00:11:58.479 --> 00:12:00.120
And I understand I'm going to put nothing

00:12:00.181 --> 00:12:00.640
into it.

00:12:00.721 --> 00:12:02.081
So my margins are going to be better.

00:12:02.802 --> 00:12:03.702
And it sucks.

00:12:03.964 --> 00:12:04.384
I was trying,

00:12:04.703 --> 00:12:05.985
I wasn't trying to dunk on anybody.

00:12:06.004 --> 00:12:06.706
I was trying to show you like,

00:12:06.745 --> 00:12:07.365
this sucks.

00:12:07.405 --> 00:12:09.027
Like I can do a crap,

00:12:09.106 --> 00:12:10.427
a C minus job and you could do

00:12:10.467 --> 00:12:11.028
an A plus job.

00:12:11.048 --> 00:12:11.729
We get paid the same.

00:12:11.749 --> 00:12:13.431
And that, that isn't okay.

00:12:13.471 --> 00:12:14.692
We should be mad about this.

00:12:14.831 --> 00:12:16.133
Not trying to find the fault in my

00:12:16.173 --> 00:12:16.552
arguments.

00:12:17.490 --> 00:12:19.251
And we should be mad about it because

00:12:19.673 --> 00:12:21.916
where those mediocre and sometimes not

00:12:21.975 --> 00:12:22.856
even mediocre,

00:12:22.897 --> 00:12:25.940
just subpar clinicians end up is in rural

00:12:25.980 --> 00:12:28.562
and underserved areas where, you know,

00:12:28.643 --> 00:12:30.164
if you were to just think about,

00:12:30.985 --> 00:12:32.488
you know, just basic things,

00:12:33.700 --> 00:12:34.740
You know, equity.

00:12:35.582 --> 00:12:37.705
If you've got an area that has higher

00:12:37.745 --> 00:12:39.388
complexity and acuity,

00:12:39.528 --> 00:12:41.750
you would want the best practitioners to

00:12:41.811 --> 00:12:44.214
be there because they're going to be more

00:12:44.234 --> 00:12:47.158
effective and it's going to ultimately end

00:12:47.197 --> 00:12:48.519
up costing us less.

00:12:49.240 --> 00:12:51.361
But if you keep sending mediocre and

00:12:51.402 --> 00:12:53.721
subpar clinicians and practitioners to

00:12:53.761 --> 00:12:55.863
those areas, then, yeah,

00:12:55.903 --> 00:12:57.903
health care is going to be trillions of

00:12:57.964 --> 00:13:00.884
dollars in debt because those people

00:13:01.105 --> 00:13:03.245
aren't incentivized to be effective and

00:13:03.264 --> 00:13:03.804
efficient.

00:13:03.884 --> 00:13:05.005
They get paid regardless.

00:13:05.046 --> 00:13:05.326
Right.

00:13:05.686 --> 00:13:07.626
So if you are out here in Joe

00:13:07.647 --> 00:13:09.006
Schmo, you know,

00:13:09.187 --> 00:13:11.628
Louisiana and there's one cardiologist,

00:13:11.748 --> 00:13:12.408
it doesn't matter.

00:13:14.052 --> 00:13:16.015
Because that one cardiologist is still

00:13:16.035 --> 00:13:18.217
going to have a full caseload and they're

00:13:18.258 --> 00:13:19.860
still going to bend over their back to

00:13:19.900 --> 00:13:21.802
make sure that that cardiologist is taken

00:13:21.842 --> 00:13:22.303
care of.

00:13:22.583 --> 00:13:24.365
Because they're going to say some service

00:13:24.446 --> 00:13:25.707
is better than no service.

00:13:26.107 --> 00:13:27.590
And I am of the belief that no,

00:13:27.629 --> 00:13:28.110
it is not.

00:13:28.792 --> 00:13:29.452
No, it is not.

00:13:31.072 --> 00:13:33.472
You've talked about something that I don't

00:13:33.732 --> 00:13:35.972
even think I learned about this term until

00:13:36.113 --> 00:13:36.972
after I graduated.

00:13:37.013 --> 00:13:39.333
I think it was Patrick Berner who taught

00:13:39.374 --> 00:13:40.313
me a couple of these terms.

00:13:40.974 --> 00:13:43.394
And the term was, he used food desert.

00:13:43.735 --> 00:13:45.754
We're going to talk about rehabilitation

00:13:45.794 --> 00:13:46.174
desert.

00:13:47.434 --> 00:13:48.076
First of all,

00:13:48.875 --> 00:13:50.235
define it because I don't want to act

00:13:50.275 --> 00:13:51.975
like everybody knows what it means because

00:13:52.216 --> 00:13:53.797
I had never heard those two words put

00:13:53.817 --> 00:13:54.856
together for a long time.

00:13:55.287 --> 00:13:57.707
So what is a rehabilitation desert?

00:13:57.727 --> 00:13:58.408
What does it mean?

00:13:59.187 --> 00:14:00.548
And how are we or how is the

00:14:00.587 --> 00:14:02.428
system contributing to it right now?

00:14:02.448 --> 00:14:03.568
Right.

00:14:03.948 --> 00:14:07.809
So deserts basically are and you can use

00:14:07.850 --> 00:14:09.650
it with any adjective on the front end.

00:14:09.691 --> 00:14:09.890
Right.

00:14:09.931 --> 00:14:11.831
So you'll hear people talk about medical

00:14:11.871 --> 00:14:12.231
deserts.

00:14:12.251 --> 00:14:13.451
You'll hear food deserts.

00:14:13.471 --> 00:14:15.131
You'll hear transportation deserts,

00:14:15.513 --> 00:14:16.393
rehab deserts.

00:14:16.852 --> 00:14:19.754
But any time there is an area where

00:14:19.953 --> 00:14:20.553
access

00:14:21.326 --> 00:14:23.466
is either limited or not available.

00:14:23.726 --> 00:14:27.207
And so the individual has an unusual

00:14:27.268 --> 00:14:29.408
burden to be able to try to access

00:14:29.447 --> 00:14:29.768
care.

00:14:30.188 --> 00:14:32.408
And we know that there's a sweet spot.

00:14:32.889 --> 00:14:35.289
So people will normally tolerate about

00:14:35.370 --> 00:14:36.970
twenty minutes of commute.

00:14:37.510 --> 00:14:38.931
So if I want to go see a

00:14:38.990 --> 00:14:39.630
PT,

00:14:40.350 --> 00:14:42.192
if they're within a twenty minute drive,

00:14:42.251 --> 00:14:42.731
I will go.

00:14:43.172 --> 00:14:44.732
But if it gets to twenty five,

00:14:44.773 --> 00:14:45.653
thirty minutes,

00:14:46.092 --> 00:14:48.653
my brain starts to think this is too

00:14:48.693 --> 00:14:48.953
much.

00:14:49.974 --> 00:14:52.135
And so we know that there are areas

00:14:52.235 --> 00:14:53.275
where people,

00:14:53.937 --> 00:14:56.798
they may have to travel hours to see

00:14:56.837 --> 00:14:57.479
a PT.

00:14:58.198 --> 00:15:00.039
Or if you start talking about PTs with

00:15:00.100 --> 00:15:01.821
specialty or advanced practice,

00:15:02.461 --> 00:15:04.462
I know that there were times I would

00:15:04.503 --> 00:15:06.464
have clients that would drive four hours

00:15:06.604 --> 00:15:08.745
one way to see me because I was

00:15:08.784 --> 00:15:10.125
an oncologist specialist.

00:15:10.785 --> 00:15:11.986
And like here in Louisiana,

00:15:12.027 --> 00:15:13.868
I think there are two of us for

00:15:13.908 --> 00:15:14.948
the entire state.

00:15:16.509 --> 00:15:16.830
Why?

00:15:18.041 --> 00:15:19.881
When I'm thinking about where we're

00:15:19.922 --> 00:15:21.783
putting future PT programs,

00:15:22.143 --> 00:15:24.124
they need to be in areas where we

00:15:24.163 --> 00:15:25.565
can address rehab deserts.

00:15:26.325 --> 00:15:28.745
Or even if they're hybrid programs,

00:15:29.106 --> 00:15:31.508
then programs need to be able to say,

00:15:31.668 --> 00:15:33.989
how are you intentionally admitting people

00:15:34.308 --> 00:15:36.409
that are going to help us address these

00:15:36.470 --> 00:15:38.350
rehab deserts?

00:15:38.370 --> 00:15:39.751
Well, they need to be able to stay,

00:15:39.871 --> 00:15:41.173
right?

00:15:41.513 --> 00:15:42.393
You've obviously thought about this,

00:15:42.452 --> 00:15:43.833
so I can ask you questions left, right,

00:15:43.854 --> 00:15:44.533
and up and down.

00:15:44.575 --> 00:15:45.315
Let's say you put

00:15:46.860 --> 00:15:47.321
a rehab,

00:15:47.400 --> 00:15:49.462
a PT program somewhere where they need

00:15:49.482 --> 00:15:49.623
PTs.

00:15:49.743 --> 00:15:50.003
Right.

00:15:51.043 --> 00:15:52.504
And then you get people from that

00:15:52.543 --> 00:15:55.966
community to go to that program and pass.

00:15:57.886 --> 00:15:59.347
What's to stop them from going, hey,

00:15:59.408 --> 00:16:00.369
I just got out.

00:16:00.708 --> 00:16:04.571
I have now the ability to leave.

00:16:05.152 --> 00:16:06.032
Would I not take it?

00:16:06.052 --> 00:16:06.731
How do you get them?

00:16:07.452 --> 00:16:09.173
How do you incentivize them to stay?

00:16:09.214 --> 00:16:09.474
Exactly.

00:16:10.071 --> 00:16:10.711
Yeah.

00:16:10.772 --> 00:16:13.193
So what we've learned from medicine and

00:16:13.234 --> 00:16:15.735
what they're doing with rural health is,

00:16:15.836 --> 00:16:17.917
is number one, from your admissions,

00:16:17.937 --> 00:16:20.399
you need to admit people from those areas

00:16:20.759 --> 00:16:22.520
because they've already got an anchor,

00:16:22.801 --> 00:16:24.221
a root in those areas.

00:16:24.822 --> 00:16:27.625
And then their clinical education needs to

00:16:27.664 --> 00:16:29.326
be back in that area.

00:16:29.787 --> 00:16:30.067
Right.

00:16:30.407 --> 00:16:32.808
So if you can recruit from that area,

00:16:33.250 --> 00:16:34.691
educate them in that area,

00:16:34.730 --> 00:16:36.812
they are eighty three times more likely to

00:16:36.952 --> 00:16:38.413
stay in that area.

00:16:38.514 --> 00:16:38.793
Right.

00:16:39.601 --> 00:16:41.442
Eighty three times more likely to stay in

00:16:41.462 --> 00:16:42.003
that area.

00:16:42.524 --> 00:16:44.365
And then what we know from neighborhood

00:16:44.404 --> 00:16:47.466
science is that what most people want,

00:16:47.645 --> 00:16:47.926
right,

00:16:47.985 --> 00:16:51.408
is they want decent education for them and

00:16:51.427 --> 00:16:52.048
their children.

00:16:52.589 --> 00:16:53.908
They want a grocery store.

00:16:54.090 --> 00:16:54.970
They want a bank.

00:16:55.190 --> 00:16:56.711
They want health care access.

00:16:57.171 --> 00:17:01.092
So that's where PTs and PT educators,

00:17:01.133 --> 00:17:02.313
when we're thinking about where we're

00:17:02.433 --> 00:17:03.975
placing our programs and placing our

00:17:03.995 --> 00:17:06.135
clinics, we're just like we just got to.

00:17:07.298 --> 00:17:07.917
think about us.

00:17:08.337 --> 00:17:08.498
No,

00:17:08.557 --> 00:17:10.378
you've got to think about the environment

00:17:10.419 --> 00:17:12.140
as well, right?

00:17:12.240 --> 00:17:13.700
And what it is that you need to

00:17:13.720 --> 00:17:16.060
do as an educator or a clinician to

00:17:16.141 --> 00:17:17.902
make sure that there are things in that

00:17:17.961 --> 00:17:19.942
neighborhood or in that community that

00:17:19.981 --> 00:17:23.723
will make those graduates want to stay.

00:17:23.763 --> 00:17:26.204
So it's hard for us as PTs to

00:17:26.244 --> 00:17:29.226
talk about mobilizing society if we don't

00:17:29.266 --> 00:17:31.747
think about a bigger society than what we

00:17:31.807 --> 00:17:32.646
do as PTs.

00:17:35.724 --> 00:17:38.026
That's talking a lot about who feels

00:17:38.086 --> 00:17:39.026
welcome in PT.

00:17:39.246 --> 00:17:40.606
We talked about this years ago.

00:17:40.646 --> 00:17:42.248
If you don't see someone who looks like

00:17:42.288 --> 00:17:43.847
you, walks like you, talks like you,

00:17:44.327 --> 00:17:45.848
why would you ever think that that's a

00:17:45.909 --> 00:17:47.009
place for you to be?

00:17:47.348 --> 00:17:50.151
Putting a program there probably opens

00:17:50.191 --> 00:17:50.611
that door.

00:17:51.270 --> 00:17:52.751
But there's a lot that goes into that.

00:17:53.092 --> 00:17:53.432
Money.

00:17:53.531 --> 00:17:55.232
Who's going to be the people who you

00:17:55.314 --> 00:17:57.595
now move to that area to teach the

00:17:57.634 --> 00:17:58.095
program?

00:17:58.414 --> 00:18:01.557
If it's truly rural and care is scattered,

00:18:01.877 --> 00:18:02.978
where are they going to do their clinical

00:18:03.018 --> 00:18:03.798
rotations, right?

00:18:03.818 --> 00:18:05.460
Are they going to have to travel two

00:18:05.500 --> 00:18:07.141
hours one way or are they going to

00:18:07.161 --> 00:18:08.461
have to move to do a clinical?

00:18:08.501 --> 00:18:09.481
And then you've sort of defeated the

00:18:09.521 --> 00:18:09.923
purpose.

00:18:10.262 --> 00:18:12.023
So this feels simple but not easy.

00:18:12.849 --> 00:18:14.592
Yeah, it's not easy.

00:18:15.271 --> 00:18:16.813
So it takes a lot of planning on

00:18:16.853 --> 00:18:17.673
the front end.

00:18:18.674 --> 00:18:23.298
But that also is part of the experience

00:18:23.358 --> 00:18:25.260
of those clinicians that are providing

00:18:25.280 --> 00:18:27.702
care to rural and underserved areas is

00:18:27.742 --> 00:18:29.564
you'll hear many of them say that a

00:18:29.644 --> 00:18:32.747
lot of their job duty is traveling, right?

00:18:33.171 --> 00:18:34.892
to the next county over,

00:18:34.951 --> 00:18:36.273
to the next city over.

00:18:36.973 --> 00:18:39.935
And so there's a part of training, right,

00:18:39.976 --> 00:18:42.198
this workforce that's gonna take care of

00:18:42.218 --> 00:18:45.040
the underserved to understand that that's

00:18:45.080 --> 00:18:47.643
gonna be part of the burden until we

00:18:47.682 --> 00:18:50.365
can get enough people interested in rural

00:18:50.384 --> 00:18:53.346
and underserved so that you don't have to

00:18:53.386 --> 00:18:55.229
travel more than twenty minutes as the

00:18:55.269 --> 00:18:57.450
practitioner or as the consumer.

00:18:58.351 --> 00:19:00.452
But I also think that we're not leveraging

00:19:00.512 --> 00:19:01.273
technology.

00:19:01.933 --> 00:19:04.575
Because like telehealth,

00:19:04.634 --> 00:19:05.796
remote monitoring,

00:19:06.076 --> 00:19:07.576
there are all these other ways in which

00:19:07.615 --> 00:19:11.617
PTs are providing care and also

00:19:12.097 --> 00:19:14.259
community-based rehab, right?

00:19:14.558 --> 00:19:17.079
So all PT doesn't have to occur within

00:19:17.119 --> 00:19:17.700
a clinic.

00:19:17.759 --> 00:19:19.381
It can occur in a patient's home.

00:19:19.760 --> 00:19:22.021
It can occur within a community center.

00:19:22.342 --> 00:19:24.363
So I think we've got to get ourselves

00:19:24.423 --> 00:19:25.942
out of a box because a lot of

00:19:25.962 --> 00:19:27.483
this we've created ourselves.

00:19:28.410 --> 00:19:30.391
Where do we steal the innovative ideas?

00:19:30.451 --> 00:19:31.771
Like when you're mentioning some of that,

00:19:31.932 --> 00:19:33.112
I've done some, you know,

00:19:33.231 --> 00:19:35.252
interviews with people who work in Alaska

00:19:35.874 --> 00:19:36.693
or, you know,

00:19:36.713 --> 00:19:39.955
in the Pacific Northwest where being rural

00:19:39.976 --> 00:19:40.915
is just way of life.

00:19:41.777 --> 00:19:43.498
It's like, you know,

00:19:43.538 --> 00:19:44.877
necessity is the mother of invention.

00:19:44.938 --> 00:19:45.417
It's like, well,

00:19:45.438 --> 00:19:46.338
if you want to figure out how to

00:19:46.358 --> 00:19:46.939
solve a problem,

00:19:47.239 --> 00:19:49.319
go watch people who've had to solve it

00:19:50.121 --> 00:19:51.040
as a way of life.

00:19:51.121 --> 00:19:53.782
So are we able to steal some ideas

00:19:54.442 --> 00:19:56.304
from those types of practitioners?

00:19:57.377 --> 00:19:57.858
Oh, yeah.

00:19:57.878 --> 00:20:00.122
I think if we were to have conversations

00:20:00.142 --> 00:20:00.903
with nurses,

00:20:01.103 --> 00:20:03.066
I think nurses have been really innovative

00:20:03.526 --> 00:20:04.867
in how to deliver care.

00:20:05.028 --> 00:20:07.971
I think your old school rural health

00:20:08.853 --> 00:20:10.154
primary care providers,

00:20:10.536 --> 00:20:11.876
they know you got to be boots on

00:20:11.896 --> 00:20:12.298
the ground.

00:20:12.846 --> 00:20:13.967
But ultimately,

00:20:14.166 --> 00:20:16.887
I think having conversations with the

00:20:16.968 --> 00:20:19.068
community members, with the neighbors,

00:20:19.729 --> 00:20:22.069
because community knows what it needs.

00:20:22.430 --> 00:20:23.309
What happens is,

00:20:23.349 --> 00:20:25.130
is we will go have a conversation with

00:20:25.150 --> 00:20:26.270
them and then we go, oh no,

00:20:26.310 --> 00:20:28.211
they just don't understand how we do what

00:20:28.250 --> 00:20:29.551
we do, right?

00:20:30.051 --> 00:20:31.852
But a community member will tell you,

00:20:31.951 --> 00:20:33.752
why can't the PT be in the barbershop?

00:20:34.453 --> 00:20:34.993
Right.

00:20:35.013 --> 00:20:35.114
Right.

00:20:35.134 --> 00:20:36.595
Because I'm going to go get my hair

00:20:36.635 --> 00:20:38.277
cut and I'm probably going to have to

00:20:38.336 --> 00:20:40.117
sit there and wait thirty, forty minutes.

00:20:40.438 --> 00:20:40.998
Guess what?

00:20:41.019 --> 00:20:42.199
I could be doing my I could be

00:20:42.239 --> 00:20:44.300
doing my treatment while I'm waiting.

00:20:44.421 --> 00:20:44.701
Right.

00:20:44.721 --> 00:20:45.280
Yeah.

00:20:46.882 --> 00:20:47.063
Why?

00:20:47.462 --> 00:20:49.243
Why do I got to go down the

00:20:49.263 --> 00:20:51.085
street to you and then come back and

00:20:51.125 --> 00:20:51.945
sit in the barbershop?

00:20:52.286 --> 00:20:52.486
I mean,

00:20:52.506 --> 00:20:55.147
like community will tell you how to

00:20:55.188 --> 00:20:56.088
improve access.

00:20:56.169 --> 00:20:57.509
It's just whether or not if we'll be

00:20:57.609 --> 00:20:59.171
humble enough to listen.

00:20:59.846 --> 00:21:02.008
If you pay attention and if you're willing

00:21:02.028 --> 00:21:05.087
to change to it versus asking or demanding

00:21:05.107 --> 00:21:05.989
that it changed to you.

00:21:06.028 --> 00:21:07.969
I remember learning this lesson about a

00:21:08.088 --> 00:21:09.769
bicycle when I was in PT school.

00:21:10.410 --> 00:21:13.951
I bought a bike on Craigslist because I

00:21:13.990 --> 00:21:14.871
couldn't afford a new bike.

00:21:14.891 --> 00:21:16.392
So I bought someone else's old bike.

00:21:16.412 --> 00:21:17.571
I was like, I'll buy your mistake.

00:21:17.652 --> 00:21:18.352
Like, no problem.

00:21:18.372 --> 00:21:19.853
I'll get a three thousand dollar bike for

00:21:20.012 --> 00:21:20.853
nine hundred bucks.

00:21:20.893 --> 00:21:21.353
I'm not an idiot.

00:21:22.074 --> 00:21:24.935
And I rode that bike for two years

00:21:25.135 --> 00:21:25.796
in races.

00:21:25.915 --> 00:21:27.656
And then someone watched me on the bike

00:21:27.696 --> 00:21:28.758
and they were like, why do you,

00:21:28.917 --> 00:21:29.097
you know,

00:21:29.117 --> 00:21:30.159
it's one of those like where you lay

00:21:30.179 --> 00:21:31.239
down triathlon bike.

00:21:31.660 --> 00:21:32.519
Like, why do you,

00:21:32.799 --> 00:21:33.800
why are you like this?

00:21:33.820 --> 00:21:35.061
And your wrists are like this.

00:21:35.281 --> 00:21:35.602
And I'm like,

00:21:35.662 --> 00:21:37.603
cause I have to touch the controllers and

00:21:37.623 --> 00:21:37.903
they go,

00:21:38.423 --> 00:21:40.144
there's a screw right there that would

00:21:40.184 --> 00:21:41.484
make those arms longer.

00:21:41.644 --> 00:21:42.286
And I was like,

00:21:42.306 --> 00:21:45.988
I've been doing this for two years.

00:21:46.347 --> 00:21:47.008
I adapted.

00:21:47.169 --> 00:21:49.089
I got smaller for the bike and,

00:21:49.875 --> 00:21:51.497
without knowing the bike was already

00:21:51.537 --> 00:21:53.719
designed to adapt to me.

00:21:54.160 --> 00:21:55.480
And I remember I was going through,

00:21:55.520 --> 00:21:57.063
I think neuro and PT school.

00:21:57.083 --> 00:21:57.603
And they were like,

00:21:58.223 --> 00:21:59.766
you don't ask someone to adapt to the

00:21:59.885 --> 00:22:00.846
power wheelchair.

00:22:01.428 --> 00:22:03.210
You adapt the wheelchair to them.

00:22:03.329 --> 00:22:04.371
It works for you.

00:22:04.471 --> 00:22:05.432
You don't work for it.

00:22:05.471 --> 00:22:07.294
I remember like as dumb as a bike

00:22:07.334 --> 00:22:08.875
metaphor being like, Oh,

00:22:08.915 --> 00:22:10.336
you should look at this for everything.

00:22:10.376 --> 00:22:10.557
Like,

00:22:11.057 --> 00:22:12.419
This should work for the person.

00:22:12.598 --> 00:22:14.381
The person should not have to bend or

00:22:14.780 --> 00:22:18.443
shrink or twist or turn for the system,

00:22:18.624 --> 00:22:20.205
for the bike, for the wheelchair,

00:22:20.246 --> 00:22:23.868
for the curb cut, for those things.

00:22:24.108 --> 00:22:25.630
Is medicine or is healthcare,

00:22:25.670 --> 00:22:27.412
are we just this big establishment that

00:22:27.432 --> 00:22:27.932
we're just like,

00:22:28.633 --> 00:22:29.773
this is how we provide it and you

00:22:29.794 --> 00:22:31.875
will be glad how we give it and

00:22:31.915 --> 00:22:33.817
you will say thank you and you will

00:22:33.836 --> 00:22:34.478
go on your way?

00:22:34.597 --> 00:22:35.538
I mean, is that it?

00:22:36.723 --> 00:22:38.647
So I think that is it.

00:22:39.087 --> 00:22:41.973
And I go back and forth because I

00:22:42.013 --> 00:22:44.258
feel like some of that is rooted in

00:22:44.298 --> 00:22:47.423
this philosophy of what it means to be

00:22:47.463 --> 00:22:48.685
a great American, right?

00:22:49.416 --> 00:22:51.557
because we tell people that the American

00:22:51.577 --> 00:22:54.779
dream is all about individualism and you

00:22:54.819 --> 00:22:56.820
pulling yourself up by the bootstraps,

00:22:56.882 --> 00:22:57.162
right?

00:22:57.561 --> 00:22:58.623
So yeah,

00:22:58.643 --> 00:23:00.263
you've got this healthcare system,

00:23:00.304 --> 00:23:00.824
guess what?

00:23:00.943 --> 00:23:02.545
If you're a good enough American,

00:23:02.585 --> 00:23:04.205
if you're a good enough individual,

00:23:04.526 --> 00:23:05.926
you'll figure out how to make it work

00:23:05.946 --> 00:23:07.028
for you, right?

00:23:07.827 --> 00:23:11.690
But in my learning more about Blue Zones

00:23:11.769 --> 00:23:13.790
and the research around it,

00:23:14.311 --> 00:23:16.173
what they are talking about is that that

00:23:16.212 --> 00:23:17.292
is such a fallacy.

00:23:17.673 --> 00:23:19.855
It's not the fact that these people are

00:23:20.075 --> 00:23:22.256
uniquely different than the rest of us,

00:23:22.615 --> 00:23:24.176
and that's why they're living to be a

00:23:24.217 --> 00:23:24.977
hundred years.

00:23:25.317 --> 00:23:26.959
It's because their environment is

00:23:27.019 --> 00:23:27.459
different.

00:23:27.878 --> 00:23:28.159
Right.

00:23:28.500 --> 00:23:29.220
So they're like,

00:23:29.580 --> 00:23:31.582
why can we not learn how to adapt

00:23:31.642 --> 00:23:34.684
environments so that then we make healthy

00:23:34.904 --> 00:23:37.327
lifestyles easy for people?

00:23:37.688 --> 00:23:39.269
And it's the same thing with education.

00:23:39.368 --> 00:23:41.631
Why can we not adapt the educational

00:23:41.671 --> 00:23:42.231
environment?

00:23:42.778 --> 00:23:45.700
to make learning easier for the learning.

00:23:46.059 --> 00:23:48.420
Why can we not adapt the healthcare system

00:23:48.700 --> 00:23:50.361
so that it works better for the

00:23:50.441 --> 00:23:51.141
individual?

00:23:51.500 --> 00:23:54.280
But we have this fragmented healthcare

00:23:54.320 --> 00:23:56.162
system that we go, this is great.

00:23:56.942 --> 00:23:58.001
You go figure it out.

00:23:58.902 --> 00:24:00.163
And if you can't figure it out,

00:24:00.182 --> 00:24:01.742
then you get to die or you get

00:24:01.762 --> 00:24:04.143
to be sick or you get to not

00:24:04.323 --> 00:24:05.663
have your quality of life.

00:24:05.983 --> 00:24:06.723
It's your fault.

00:24:07.644 --> 00:24:09.564
I remember when someone pointed out that

00:24:09.644 --> 00:24:11.684
phrase, because like cliches,

00:24:13.105 --> 00:24:14.646
become cliches because they get repeated

00:24:14.686 --> 00:24:15.847
so much right doesn't mean they're

00:24:15.867 --> 00:24:17.769
necessarily true but the fact that like

00:24:18.210 --> 00:24:21.633
can you show me how you could sit

00:24:21.653 --> 00:24:24.035
on the floor and elevate yourself by

00:24:24.095 --> 00:24:26.596
pulling your own bootstraps up that

00:24:26.656 --> 00:24:28.778
doesn't work give me the best Cirque du

00:24:28.838 --> 00:24:32.582
Soleil athlete and that does not work you

00:24:32.622 --> 00:24:35.423
cannot do that like that does not work

00:24:36.203 --> 00:24:37.905
I get the sentiment I'm not trying to

00:24:37.965 --> 00:24:40.567
nitpick the cliche but

00:24:42.155 --> 00:24:42.636
People,

00:24:42.757 --> 00:24:44.038
if everything you're saying is true,

00:24:44.057 --> 00:24:45.359
which I also agree with,

00:24:46.361 --> 00:24:48.063
design the community where they don't have

00:24:48.083 --> 00:24:49.104
to pull themselves up,

00:24:49.223 --> 00:24:51.906
that there's a path to walk that's simple

00:24:52.188 --> 00:24:53.909
that also benefits themselves and others.

00:24:54.329 --> 00:24:55.731
That seems like an easier way to do

00:24:55.811 --> 00:24:55.872
it.

00:24:56.865 --> 00:24:58.645
It makes sense to me because I'm like,

00:24:58.685 --> 00:25:00.807
if we're all out here pulling ourselves

00:25:00.906 --> 00:25:02.626
up, then why are there country clubs?

00:25:03.008 --> 00:25:04.008
Why is there golfing?

00:25:04.488 --> 00:25:04.827
Right.

00:25:04.988 --> 00:25:06.268
Why are there cigar bars?

00:25:06.708 --> 00:25:08.949
Because what those things signify is that

00:25:08.989 --> 00:25:10.808
there are places where people come into

00:25:10.848 --> 00:25:13.509
community and then they network and they

00:25:13.549 --> 00:25:14.470
help each other out.

00:25:14.809 --> 00:25:15.089
Right.

00:25:16.691 --> 00:25:17.131
So I'm like,

00:25:17.290 --> 00:25:19.771
so just normalize the fact that no one

00:25:19.852 --> 00:25:21.432
really is doing this on their own.

00:25:22.192 --> 00:25:22.532
Right.

00:25:22.593 --> 00:25:25.953
So but if we can keep telling people

00:25:26.074 --> 00:25:28.315
that they just need to keep you just

00:25:28.335 --> 00:25:30.674
keep doing more, then, you know,

00:25:30.714 --> 00:25:32.796
people will keep striving to do that and

00:25:32.816 --> 00:25:36.176
then they'll pay for all of these services

00:25:36.376 --> 00:25:38.517
or processes that don't really work.

00:25:38.997 --> 00:25:39.737
So I'm just like,

00:25:39.957 --> 00:25:41.337
we just need to be honest about the

00:25:41.377 --> 00:25:43.117
fact that our health care system is

00:25:43.178 --> 00:25:43.897
fragmented.

00:25:44.398 --> 00:25:46.219
It does not work for most of us.

00:25:46.398 --> 00:25:48.880
It costs us way too much money and

00:25:48.920 --> 00:25:49.799
it's ineffective.

00:25:51.407 --> 00:25:54.309
And we do need to have an honest

00:25:54.329 --> 00:25:55.390
conversation about that.

00:25:56.010 --> 00:25:57.211
Because we created it.

00:25:57.291 --> 00:25:58.352
And if we created it,

00:25:58.392 --> 00:26:00.814
we could fix it if we wanted to.

00:26:01.413 --> 00:26:03.115
It's one of my new favorite quotes I

00:26:03.154 --> 00:26:05.656
got from a guest, Rob Pinarello.

00:26:05.696 --> 00:26:07.238
He said, it might not be our fault,

00:26:07.258 --> 00:26:08.798
but it sure is our problem.

00:26:09.700 --> 00:26:10.200
Which is like,

00:26:10.220 --> 00:26:11.820
you might not have created it,

00:26:11.941 --> 00:26:13.682
but you still have to deal with it.

00:26:13.982 --> 00:26:14.742
Which also means,

00:26:14.782 --> 00:26:15.804
but if you can deal with it,

00:26:16.929 --> 00:26:18.650
If enough of us decide to change it,

00:26:18.750 --> 00:26:20.549
that's the only time that something

00:26:20.630 --> 00:26:22.891
actually gets changed is when enough of us

00:26:22.931 --> 00:26:24.230
decide that it gets changed.

00:26:24.270 --> 00:26:25.771
Yeah.

00:26:25.832 --> 00:26:26.192
And see,

00:26:26.271 --> 00:26:29.532
and I kind of see it as binary.

00:26:30.752 --> 00:26:32.534
And this might be way too simplistic

00:26:32.854 --> 00:26:34.374
because I kind of see it like life,

00:26:34.453 --> 00:26:34.753
right?

00:26:35.173 --> 00:26:36.295
So either you're living,

00:26:36.595 --> 00:26:38.335
you're either actively living or you're

00:26:38.394 --> 00:26:39.855
actively dying.

00:26:39.915 --> 00:26:40.776
Shawshank Redemption.

00:26:42.291 --> 00:26:43.814
And so to me,

00:26:43.894 --> 00:26:46.476
you're either actively creating it,

00:26:46.936 --> 00:26:49.098
even if it's bystander creation,

00:26:49.839 --> 00:26:51.441
or you're actively changing it.

00:26:52.021 --> 00:26:52.863
Which one are you doing?

00:26:53.743 --> 00:26:55.526
You're going to let it continue to exist

00:26:55.605 --> 00:26:57.448
as it is and you're like, that works,

00:26:57.688 --> 00:26:58.548
or you're going to change it.

00:26:59.243 --> 00:27:00.845
Yep.

00:27:00.865 --> 00:27:06.488
This also works against clinicians in the

00:27:06.607 --> 00:27:09.909
healthcare profession, right?

00:27:09.949 --> 00:27:14.811
Like this lack of connectivity or

00:27:14.932 --> 00:27:17.532
isolation or individualism,

00:27:17.573 --> 00:27:21.115
like staff culture or like, so, I mean,

00:27:21.134 --> 00:27:23.195
we have, I forget what the statistic was,

00:27:23.236 --> 00:27:25.156
but a large number of our colleagues come

00:27:25.176 --> 00:27:26.596
into this profession and I think it's

00:27:26.656 --> 00:27:27.958
seven years later

00:27:28.755 --> 00:27:29.894
they last seven years.

00:27:30.075 --> 00:27:30.275
It's like,

00:27:30.315 --> 00:27:31.855
you just went to school for essentially

00:27:31.915 --> 00:27:34.996
seven years to hang out for seven years

00:27:35.796 --> 00:27:36.477
and then leave.

00:27:36.896 --> 00:27:40.396
And that's a lot of wasted effort and,

00:27:40.837 --> 00:27:42.698
and skill and insight.

00:27:43.817 --> 00:27:45.519
And that feels like we could,

00:27:45.838 --> 00:27:46.898
we should fix that.

00:27:46.919 --> 00:27:48.838
Yeah.

00:27:48.919 --> 00:27:49.939
And it's interesting,

00:27:50.019 --> 00:27:52.440
like why people are leaving and that

00:27:52.500 --> 00:27:56.260
number may even get lower based on what

00:27:56.280 --> 00:27:56.881
we're seeing in, in,

00:27:57.522 --> 00:28:00.164
these last two youngest generations of

00:28:00.224 --> 00:28:02.306
PTs, that number may continue to drop.

00:28:02.826 --> 00:28:04.788
But it's like people are leaving, right?

00:28:04.847 --> 00:28:06.588
Sometimes it's, you know,

00:28:06.628 --> 00:28:08.190
family obligations, right?

00:28:08.210 --> 00:28:09.530
They're at a different season in their

00:28:09.550 --> 00:28:09.852
life.

00:28:10.311 --> 00:28:11.772
But a lot of times it's pay.

00:28:11.992 --> 00:28:15.275
A lot of times it's the workplace

00:28:15.394 --> 00:28:18.377
environment, productivity,

00:28:19.298 --> 00:28:21.339
insurance burdens, administrative burden.

00:28:21.920 --> 00:28:24.040
But all of those things we could change

00:28:24.162 --> 00:28:25.623
because at the end of the day,

00:28:26.666 --> 00:28:28.250
There is a PT manager.

00:28:29.011 --> 00:28:30.675
A lot of times there is a PT

00:28:30.796 --> 00:28:31.017
owner.

00:28:32.135 --> 00:28:34.356
And then even in these larger companies,

00:28:34.396 --> 00:28:37.478
there still are PTs in the C-suite, right?

00:28:39.219 --> 00:28:40.058
So once again,

00:28:40.118 --> 00:28:41.378
I keep coming back to the fact that

00:28:41.439 --> 00:28:42.960
I'm not going to say that everything's

00:28:43.099 --> 00:28:44.599
easy, but I'm going to say,

00:28:44.619 --> 00:28:48.102
but we still are in change agent seats

00:28:48.521 --> 00:28:50.321
where we could change it if we so

00:28:50.362 --> 00:28:50.883
wanted to.

00:28:51.383 --> 00:28:52.462
Is it going to be painful?

00:28:52.563 --> 00:28:52.923
Yes.

00:28:53.083 --> 00:28:54.844
Are some people going to have lower

00:28:54.963 --> 00:28:55.503
margins?

00:28:55.644 --> 00:28:57.204
Yes, for a little while.

00:28:58.375 --> 00:28:58.896
But it's like,

00:28:58.936 --> 00:29:00.858
are you willing to have some short-term

00:29:00.919 --> 00:29:03.882
discomfort to protect the profession?

00:29:05.022 --> 00:29:08.988
And also to just be kinder to that

00:29:09.028 --> 00:29:10.308
fellow human, right?

00:29:10.650 --> 00:29:13.752
So you've had a graduate work seven years

00:29:13.792 --> 00:29:15.255
to be part of the profession.

00:29:15.595 --> 00:29:17.057
They get out, they graduate,

00:29:17.096 --> 00:29:18.778
and then they only work seven years.

00:29:20.147 --> 00:29:21.888
I'm like, come on, right?

00:29:22.170 --> 00:29:24.070
Like we're missing out on so much

00:29:24.131 --> 00:29:27.253
potential because we're losing these

00:29:27.933 --> 00:29:30.676
amazing humans that might be our future

00:29:30.737 --> 00:29:31.116
leaders.

00:29:31.156 --> 00:29:32.858
They might innovate something for the

00:29:32.878 --> 00:29:33.419
profession,

00:29:33.739 --> 00:29:36.060
but we end up losing them because we

00:29:36.101 --> 00:29:38.123
want them to see sixteen patients in one

00:29:38.163 --> 00:29:40.305
day.

00:29:40.325 --> 00:29:41.025
I'm just like,

00:29:42.454 --> 00:29:44.096
That instant gratification.

00:29:44.317 --> 00:29:44.836
I'm just like,

00:29:44.916 --> 00:29:47.961
could we not be reasonable with

00:29:48.000 --> 00:29:49.422
productivity expectations?

00:29:49.442 --> 00:29:54.446
Could we not be flexible with work hours?

00:29:54.467 --> 00:29:56.449
Because it's going to cost you more to

00:29:56.489 --> 00:29:57.109
replace them.

00:29:57.130 --> 00:29:58.631
I was going to say, if you don't,

00:29:58.851 --> 00:29:59.811
what is the cost?

00:30:00.232 --> 00:30:00.972
You've said this,

00:30:01.354 --> 00:30:04.076
we're gatekeeping the profession while

00:30:04.116 --> 00:30:05.377
complaining about the shortage.

00:30:06.161 --> 00:30:06.601
Yeah.

00:30:06.641 --> 00:30:08.481
That feels like we're talking in circles,

00:30:08.541 --> 00:30:08.721
right?

00:30:08.741 --> 00:30:09.762
It's talking out of both sides of your

00:30:09.803 --> 00:30:10.042
mouth.

00:30:10.063 --> 00:30:11.063
There's not enough people,

00:30:11.623 --> 00:30:12.604
but we're gatekeeping.

00:30:13.104 --> 00:30:14.904
So what do we... Well,

00:30:15.105 --> 00:30:15.944
and then there's the middle part,

00:30:15.964 --> 00:30:16.765
which is how do we keep people in

00:30:16.785 --> 00:30:17.665
the profession longer?

00:30:17.925 --> 00:30:20.106
So you have input, you have throughput,

00:30:20.166 --> 00:30:21.227
you have output, right?

00:30:21.267 --> 00:30:23.647
In terms of someone's career span.

00:30:26.449 --> 00:30:28.329
You're focused on input because you're in

00:30:28.369 --> 00:30:29.009
education.

00:30:29.411 --> 00:30:29.570
Well,

00:30:29.611 --> 00:30:30.790
I shouldn't say just focused on input,

00:30:30.810 --> 00:30:31.211
but you're like,

00:30:31.230 --> 00:30:33.932
how do we get more right people into

00:30:34.292 --> 00:30:34.932
the profession?

00:30:35.557 --> 00:30:37.598
Because more right people is better than

00:30:37.699 --> 00:30:38.680
more not right people.

00:30:38.720 --> 00:30:39.759
Because if those people aren't right,

00:30:39.779 --> 00:30:42.402
they might not stick around and prevent

00:30:42.422 --> 00:30:43.602
them from leaving the profession.

00:30:43.662 --> 00:30:45.482
Yeah.

00:30:45.603 --> 00:30:47.284
And I am of the belief now,

00:30:48.265 --> 00:30:49.425
and this is where people will get

00:30:49.526 --> 00:30:50.546
irritable with me,

00:30:51.247 --> 00:30:53.087
every four point O student is not the

00:30:53.127 --> 00:30:53.688
right person.

00:30:55.217 --> 00:30:55.537
Right.

00:30:57.357 --> 00:30:59.498
I think there is some beauty in having

00:30:59.538 --> 00:31:01.798
conversations about those people that

00:31:01.858 --> 00:31:03.838
represent the three point three point

00:31:03.878 --> 00:31:06.440
three because their drive is different.

00:31:07.279 --> 00:31:07.680
Right.

00:31:08.099 --> 00:31:10.221
Their passion about the profession is

00:31:10.260 --> 00:31:11.240
different because.

00:31:13.080 --> 00:31:16.201
There's just a gratefulness to being

00:31:16.261 --> 00:31:17.461
allowed access.

00:31:18.663 --> 00:31:20.182
That then they're like, you know what,

00:31:20.282 --> 00:31:22.303
I'm going to stay in this because I

00:31:22.323 --> 00:31:24.344
am grateful to have been able to be

00:31:24.384 --> 00:31:24.604
here.

00:31:25.059 --> 00:31:25.539
I, you know,

00:31:25.680 --> 00:31:28.122
I know what I've had to do to

00:31:28.162 --> 00:31:30.303
be able to get to this point where

00:31:30.343 --> 00:31:32.784
we tend to only think about the three

00:31:32.824 --> 00:31:34.384
point eights and the three point and the

00:31:34.424 --> 00:31:35.925
four point O's is on my, you know,

00:31:35.965 --> 00:31:37.066
think about all they've done.

00:31:38.467 --> 00:31:38.707
Yeah,

00:31:38.747 --> 00:31:40.627
they've done a lot from an academic

00:31:40.647 --> 00:31:45.070
standpoint, but that that drive, right,

00:31:45.111 --> 00:31:47.112
that I don't even know what to call

00:31:47.152 --> 00:31:48.511
it, but that grittiness,

00:31:49.853 --> 00:31:51.413
I tend to see that more in the

00:31:51.453 --> 00:31:53.255
three point O's to the three point threes.

00:31:54.096 --> 00:31:56.096
And I also tend to see them stay

00:31:56.156 --> 00:31:59.919
longer within the profession because they

00:32:00.019 --> 00:32:01.880
feel a commitment to the profession.

00:32:02.160 --> 00:32:04.461
They feel like the profession took,

00:32:05.261 --> 00:32:07.083
you know, they, they took one for them.

00:32:07.123 --> 00:32:07.303
What,

00:32:07.363 --> 00:32:08.983
what would be a better word for Jimmy?

00:32:09.084 --> 00:32:11.204
But I'm not saying that something was

00:32:11.285 --> 00:32:12.945
given to them, but they just,

00:32:12.965 --> 00:32:15.508
there's a different sense about being

00:32:16.167 --> 00:32:17.929
accepted into the professions.

00:32:18.516 --> 00:32:20.499
Well, for a second there,

00:32:20.519 --> 00:32:23.241
I was going to say it's an effect

00:32:23.281 --> 00:32:24.403
called the IKEA effect.

00:32:24.423 --> 00:32:25.785
Have you ever heard of the IKEA effect?

00:32:25.944 --> 00:32:26.586
Lego effect?

00:32:27.346 --> 00:32:28.469
Because I had more...

00:32:30.076 --> 00:32:33.157
I had to construct this coffee table.

00:32:33.798 --> 00:32:35.397
I actually valued the coffee table.

00:32:35.998 --> 00:32:42.000
It was in Betty Crocker cake mix.

00:32:42.900 --> 00:32:44.819
All you used to have to do was

00:32:44.920 --> 00:32:46.500
add water and people said,

00:32:46.579 --> 00:32:47.740
it didn't feel like I was doing enough.

00:32:47.780 --> 00:32:48.520
They literally said,

00:32:48.780 --> 00:32:51.040
you have to add water and egg and

00:32:51.161 --> 00:32:51.981
adoption went up.

00:32:52.382 --> 00:32:52.741
So it was like,

00:32:52.781 --> 00:32:54.281
if you have to do a little more,

00:32:54.321 --> 00:32:55.642
if you had to sort of sweat a

00:32:55.662 --> 00:32:57.663
little more or put a little more work

00:32:57.682 --> 00:32:58.163
into it,

00:32:59.644 --> 00:33:02.205
you might feel like it's worth more to

00:33:02.326 --> 00:33:03.267
you.

00:33:03.586 --> 00:33:03.826
Right.

00:33:03.846 --> 00:33:06.388
Personally.

00:33:06.890 --> 00:33:08.211
That's a great way to put it.

00:33:10.011 --> 00:33:12.493
Because I do want humans to feel like

00:33:12.513 --> 00:33:13.674
they are the gift, right?

00:33:13.714 --> 00:33:16.017
We all have been called into existence for

00:33:16.037 --> 00:33:16.616
a reason.

00:33:17.698 --> 00:33:20.519
But I also think that your profession,

00:33:20.641 --> 00:33:22.261
and especially professions that have

00:33:22.321 --> 00:33:23.442
selective admission,

00:33:24.348 --> 00:33:27.191
recognizing the gift that has been given

00:33:27.230 --> 00:33:27.651
to you.

00:33:28.151 --> 00:33:30.432
And I do sometimes find that those

00:33:30.471 --> 00:33:32.573
candidates with the higher GPAs,

00:33:33.013 --> 00:33:34.894
they feel like they're the gift.

00:33:35.154 --> 00:33:37.576
And if things don't go a particular way,

00:33:37.615 --> 00:33:39.297
then they're ready to go.

00:33:39.376 --> 00:33:41.817
And granted, many of them do have options.

00:33:42.198 --> 00:33:44.138
So yes, utilize your options.

00:33:44.159 --> 00:33:45.160
That's not what I'm saying.

00:33:45.720 --> 00:33:47.881
But I just find that the persistence and

00:33:47.901 --> 00:33:49.701
the perseverance is not the same.

00:33:49.741 --> 00:33:51.403
And I realize I'm speaking in

00:33:51.442 --> 00:33:52.284
generalizations.

00:33:52.304 --> 00:33:52.923
Right, right, right, right.

00:33:53.023 --> 00:33:55.184
But I just hear so many educational

00:33:55.224 --> 00:33:57.385
programs talking about they want the

00:33:57.445 --> 00:33:58.886
qualified student.

00:33:59.007 --> 00:33:59.767
And in their mind,

00:33:59.787 --> 00:34:01.647
the qualified student is three point five

00:34:01.688 --> 00:34:02.189
or greater.

00:34:02.808 --> 00:34:05.911
I'm like, no, the qualified student,

00:34:06.010 --> 00:34:08.032
if your document says it is three point

00:34:08.172 --> 00:34:08.371
oh,

00:34:08.711 --> 00:34:10.293
then it's the three point oh student as

00:34:10.333 --> 00:34:10.733
well.

00:34:11.132 --> 00:34:12.713
So you need to wrap your arms around

00:34:12.753 --> 00:34:13.134
them.

00:34:13.835 --> 00:34:15.235
And what I have just found is that

00:34:15.275 --> 00:34:17.076
they come with a different set of

00:34:17.155 --> 00:34:20.257
attributes that actually ends up.

00:34:21.175 --> 00:34:22.896
being better for the profession.

00:34:22.936 --> 00:34:24.597
There's just a resilience there.

00:34:24.637 --> 00:34:26.739
There's just a hunger there that's

00:34:26.778 --> 00:34:27.659
slightly different.

00:34:29.201 --> 00:34:31.543
What would it look like if PT education

00:34:31.583 --> 00:34:35.385
truly centered community instead of

00:34:36.025 --> 00:34:36.927
competition,

00:34:37.206 --> 00:34:39.528
instead of a four is better than a

00:34:39.608 --> 00:34:40.208
three five?

00:34:41.030 --> 00:34:42.130
Oh, you know,

00:34:42.570 --> 00:34:44.152
I would love for it to get to

00:34:44.192 --> 00:34:47.414
the point where if you've got the academic

00:34:47.454 --> 00:34:47.974
metrics,

00:34:48.476 --> 00:34:48.615
then

00:34:49.266 --> 00:34:51.407
Good we're done with that part right

00:34:51.507 --> 00:34:52.487
that's your screening,

00:34:53.048 --> 00:34:55.409
then the rest of the admissions process is

00:34:55.469 --> 00:34:57.371
really looking at those attributes that

00:34:57.411 --> 00:34:59.793
you have towards the ability to build

00:34:59.833 --> 00:35:01.134
community right.

00:35:02.619 --> 00:35:05.581
So even I would love to see community

00:35:05.621 --> 00:35:07.922
members participating in the admissions

00:35:07.963 --> 00:35:08.483
process.

00:35:08.543 --> 00:35:08.782
Right.

00:35:09.202 --> 00:35:11.123
What would that look like to have patients

00:35:11.224 --> 00:35:14.364
sitting on the admissions process to be

00:35:14.405 --> 00:35:14.985
like, oh, yeah,

00:35:15.025 --> 00:35:16.927
that person could be my therapist or oh,

00:35:16.987 --> 00:35:17.367
no.

00:35:17.447 --> 00:35:19.527
Did you notice the way in which they

00:35:19.568 --> 00:35:20.228
spoke to us?

00:35:20.648 --> 00:35:20.887
Right.

00:35:21.369 --> 00:35:22.809
I think I would love to see the

00:35:22.969 --> 00:35:25.311
end users helping us select the future

00:35:25.510 --> 00:35:26.170
clinicians.

00:35:26.655 --> 00:35:27.115
Yeah.

00:35:27.135 --> 00:35:27.315
I mean,

00:35:27.456 --> 00:35:28.936
I learned that in a different way when

00:35:28.956 --> 00:35:30.536
I worked for Mount Sinai Hospital and

00:35:31.257 --> 00:35:33.157
David Petrino was in charge of a research

00:35:33.197 --> 00:35:35.818
lab and he used to use this phrase,

00:35:35.838 --> 00:35:36.978
which he didn't coin, but he said,

00:35:37.057 --> 00:35:39.458
nothing about us without us.

00:35:39.538 --> 00:35:42.719
And that was from the disability movement

00:35:43.219 --> 00:35:44.958
back in the sixties and seventies,

00:35:44.998 --> 00:35:46.519
which is you have people making decisions

00:35:46.860 --> 00:35:49.059
about other people and no one in that

00:35:49.099 --> 00:35:51.780
decision-making process has the disability

00:35:51.820 --> 00:35:52.940
that we are deciding on.

00:35:53.041 --> 00:35:54.501
And that doesn't make any sense.

00:35:55.385 --> 00:35:56.184
Right, it doesn't.

00:35:58.085 --> 00:35:59.266
And that kind of comes from

00:35:59.967 --> 00:36:01.527
community-based research.

00:36:01.847 --> 00:36:03.849
Some people call it community empowerment

00:36:03.889 --> 00:36:04.489
research.

00:36:04.509 --> 00:36:06.710
You're now hearing terms like asset-based

00:36:07.530 --> 00:36:08.070
models.

00:36:08.471 --> 00:36:11.251
But this concept of if the end product

00:36:11.351 --> 00:36:13.333
is a practitioner,

00:36:14.512 --> 00:36:16.514
then I think there needs to be some

00:36:16.534 --> 00:36:18.695
changes in our processes to say,

00:36:18.994 --> 00:36:20.735
and be it education or clinical,

00:36:21.815 --> 00:36:23.376
at every time point,

00:36:24.375 --> 00:36:26.637
Where is community part of this

00:36:26.677 --> 00:36:27.438
decision-making?

00:36:27.858 --> 00:36:29.641
And so there is an organization called

00:36:29.681 --> 00:36:30.362
PCORI,

00:36:30.382 --> 00:36:33.686
which is Patient-Centered Outcome Research

00:36:33.726 --> 00:36:34.266
Institute.

00:36:34.867 --> 00:36:37.389
What I love about that organization is if

00:36:37.469 --> 00:36:39.452
you are designing a research project,

00:36:39.932 --> 00:36:41.795
community's got to be involved from

00:36:41.855 --> 00:36:43.737
conceptualization all the way to

00:36:43.797 --> 00:36:44.538
dissemination.

00:36:45.528 --> 00:36:47.471
And I think that PCORI model,

00:36:47.590 --> 00:36:49.713
we need to embrace that in healthcare and

00:36:49.733 --> 00:36:50.775
clinical services.

00:36:51.175 --> 00:36:53.197
We also need to embrace it in education

00:36:53.277 --> 00:36:55.900
where if you're designing this and

00:36:55.940 --> 00:36:58.443
communities who it's going to impact at

00:36:58.623 --> 00:36:59.826
every timestamp,

00:37:00.226 --> 00:37:01.648
where's your community member?

00:37:02.047 --> 00:37:03.150
Where's your public member?

00:37:05.539 --> 00:37:07.240
I saw it in practice when I said

00:37:07.762 --> 00:37:08.521
at Mount Sinai,

00:37:09.103 --> 00:37:10.965
we'd have technology companies come and

00:37:11.025 --> 00:37:15.349
say, we've solved insert disability here,

00:37:15.409 --> 00:37:18.592
or we've solved this problem for this

00:37:18.632 --> 00:37:19.934
subset of the population here.

00:37:20.853 --> 00:37:23.315
And David, he was also Australian.

00:37:23.436 --> 00:37:24.155
So whenever he talked,

00:37:24.175 --> 00:37:25.135
it just sounded cooler.

00:37:25.657 --> 00:37:26.416
He'd just be like,

00:37:27.498 --> 00:37:29.719
he would ask just like stunningly simple

00:37:29.759 --> 00:37:30.159
questions.

00:37:30.800 --> 00:37:32.981
Who from that community is on your board

00:37:33.021 --> 00:37:35.121
who's actively been in the process of

00:37:35.181 --> 00:37:35.561
this?

00:37:36.262 --> 00:37:37.063
And a lot of times,

00:37:37.523 --> 00:37:38.684
these were David's words, not mine.

00:37:38.724 --> 00:37:39.003
He was like,

00:37:39.184 --> 00:37:40.786
it's a bunch of tech bros going,

00:37:40.826 --> 00:37:41.606
we figured it out.

00:37:41.826 --> 00:37:43.007
And the answer is nobody.

00:37:43.961 --> 00:37:44.461
Right.

00:37:44.963 --> 00:37:45.583
And then he,

00:37:45.623 --> 00:37:47.385
David would then just simply turn to

00:37:47.445 --> 00:37:49.427
people who had that disability and say,

00:37:49.947 --> 00:37:53.150
is this in your top twenty five problems

00:37:53.630 --> 00:37:54.791
that you face every day?

00:37:55.452 --> 00:37:55.992
And they'd be like,

00:37:56.152 --> 00:37:57.213
not even in my top fifty.

00:37:57.414 --> 00:37:58.614
And they're like, what are we doing here?

00:37:58.855 --> 00:38:02.018
You've solved nothing.

00:38:02.157 --> 00:38:04.559
And from and from like psychology and

00:38:04.599 --> 00:38:05.601
sociology research,

00:38:05.621 --> 00:38:06.802
we call that saviorism.

00:38:06.862 --> 00:38:07.161
Right.

00:38:07.862 --> 00:38:10.644
Where it's totally you thought there was a

00:38:10.704 --> 00:38:11.164
problem.

00:38:12.873 --> 00:38:13.554
and you were like,

00:38:13.653 --> 00:38:15.054
I'm gonna come up with a solution.

00:38:15.155 --> 00:38:16.615
And then you take it back to community

00:38:16.635 --> 00:38:18.277
and you're like, I'm the best.

00:38:18.896 --> 00:38:20.177
I fixed this for you, right?

00:38:20.659 --> 00:38:22.960
And we also do that in education where

00:38:23.039 --> 00:38:25.762
faculty will get together and be like,

00:38:25.802 --> 00:38:27.563
this is what's wrong with this course or

00:38:27.603 --> 00:38:28.384
this curriculum.

00:38:29.284 --> 00:38:31.806
and very seldom do we get feedback from

00:38:31.826 --> 00:38:34.329
the students like really good feedback not

00:38:34.369 --> 00:38:36.471
just the student eval at the end of

00:38:36.490 --> 00:38:38.632
the year but sitting with students to talk

00:38:38.652 --> 00:38:41.235
about curriculum and then we go we fixed

00:38:41.295 --> 00:38:43.197
it and the students are like no it

00:38:43.237 --> 00:38:46.378
still sucks right and then when you think

00:38:46.398 --> 00:38:49.322
about like clinics and patient care like

00:38:49.802 --> 00:38:51.463
often you'll hear people say we have

00:38:51.523 --> 00:38:53.646
community advisory meetings yes but they

00:38:53.686 --> 00:38:54.567
meet once a quarter

00:38:55.663 --> 00:38:56.503
Right.

00:38:56.583 --> 00:38:59.643
How often do you invite community members

00:38:59.864 --> 00:39:02.023
into your staff meetings to talk about,

00:39:02.083 --> 00:39:03.625
hey, how is this really going?

00:39:03.945 --> 00:39:05.864
Like, sit down and have conversations.

00:39:07.465 --> 00:39:09.286
But a lot of times we're doing things

00:39:09.326 --> 00:39:10.905
because it feels good for us,

00:39:11.847 --> 00:39:14.186
not that it really helps the situation.

00:39:15.007 --> 00:39:15.427
Yeah.

00:39:15.467 --> 00:39:18.807
Because I have a use case where I

00:39:19.088 --> 00:39:20.327
think it happens.

00:39:20.889 --> 00:39:22.409
I don't think it's on purpose.

00:39:23.507 --> 00:39:24.128
A lot of times.

00:39:25.068 --> 00:39:26.989
APTA state chapters and academies.

00:39:27.409 --> 00:39:28.108
I see you.

00:39:28.268 --> 00:39:28.668
I love you.

00:39:28.849 --> 00:39:29.829
I want you to succeed.

00:39:29.969 --> 00:39:31.550
It might seem I'm harsh on you online.

00:39:31.630 --> 00:39:32.949
That's because I'm trying to push you.

00:39:33.510 --> 00:39:34.829
Some of them will do town halls.

00:39:34.951 --> 00:39:35.351
And I'm like,

00:39:36.731 --> 00:39:38.210
I don't know if that's the greatest way

00:39:38.251 --> 00:39:40.632
to get feedback because a person has to

00:39:40.711 --> 00:39:41.692
stand up in front of a group of

00:39:41.731 --> 00:39:44.192
peers and say something that might be

00:39:44.231 --> 00:39:44.893
super personal.

00:39:45.032 --> 00:39:45.853
The funny part is...

00:39:46.809 --> 00:39:48.130
It's probably more than that person

00:39:48.170 --> 00:39:48.730
thinking it,

00:39:49.210 --> 00:39:50.791
but is that the best way to get

00:39:50.831 --> 00:39:51.431
feedback?

00:39:51.751 --> 00:39:52.811
Probably not.

00:39:53.431 --> 00:39:56.552
And here's my non-scientific way.

00:39:56.853 --> 00:39:58.213
We've all been to presentations.

00:39:58.273 --> 00:39:59.693
We just came back from CSM.

00:40:00.134 --> 00:40:01.554
Someone talks for sixty minutes.

00:40:01.974 --> 00:40:03.795
Everyone says, clap, clap, clap.

00:40:03.974 --> 00:40:04.655
Any questions?

00:40:04.956 --> 00:40:05.795
Maybe one or two.

00:40:05.856 --> 00:40:06.596
Clap, clap, clap.

00:40:06.956 --> 00:40:07.456
Thank you.

00:40:07.856 --> 00:40:08.297
I'm done.

00:40:08.436 --> 00:40:10.057
And then twelve people rush the stage to

00:40:10.137 --> 00:40:10.757
ask a question.

00:40:11.956 --> 00:40:12.416
Where was that?

00:40:12.458 --> 00:40:13.418
Forty eight seconds ago.

00:40:13.478 --> 00:40:13.818
Why?

00:40:14.139 --> 00:40:14.780
I know why.

00:40:15.019 --> 00:40:16.782
Because they didn't want the spotlight.

00:40:17.242 --> 00:40:19.965
But that's where really interesting things

00:40:20.525 --> 00:40:21.005
happen.

00:40:21.365 --> 00:40:21.947
So, yes,

00:40:22.568 --> 00:40:24.469
asking for a survey at work or at

00:40:24.590 --> 00:40:28.574
school isn't the best way to get the

00:40:28.753 --> 00:40:30.255
right feedback.

00:40:30.335 --> 00:40:31.496
No, no.

00:40:32.105 --> 00:40:35.050
It's that one-on-one small group.

00:40:35.490 --> 00:40:36.512
I mean, and people are like,

00:40:36.532 --> 00:40:38.036
but do we have time for that?

00:40:38.135 --> 00:40:38.936
If you want to know the,

00:40:39.197 --> 00:40:40.179
if you want the answers,

00:40:40.239 --> 00:40:41.242
you have time for it.

00:40:41.302 --> 00:40:41.601
Right.

00:40:41.661 --> 00:40:43.284
And do you have time to not do

00:40:43.364 --> 00:40:43.465
it?

00:40:44.297 --> 00:40:44.918
That part.

00:40:45.539 --> 00:40:48.440
And nowadays, even with technology, right?

00:40:48.480 --> 00:40:51.101
So there's so many audience engagement

00:40:51.141 --> 00:40:54.302
systems that you can still protect

00:40:54.342 --> 00:40:58.023
someone's need to feel safe and allow them

00:40:58.043 --> 00:40:59.503
to still give you feedback.

00:40:59.623 --> 00:41:00.304
I'm just like,

00:41:00.945 --> 00:41:03.925
but we often design things in a rush

00:41:04.005 --> 00:41:05.606
or either we're just thinking about how

00:41:05.646 --> 00:41:06.786
we've always done them.

00:41:07.126 --> 00:41:09.248
We're not really thinking about universal

00:41:09.288 --> 00:41:10.148
design of, okay,

00:41:10.208 --> 00:41:12.849
how can I engage as many people as

00:41:12.909 --> 00:41:13.389
possible?

00:41:13.746 --> 00:41:17.230
Because if you want as many perspectives

00:41:17.289 --> 00:41:17.851
as possible,

00:41:17.871 --> 00:41:20.193
you've got to be much more intentional in

00:41:20.353 --> 00:41:22.617
every aspect of the human condition.

00:41:23.097 --> 00:41:28.023
I would say these are communication

00:41:28.063 --> 00:41:28.844
principles, right?

00:41:29.204 --> 00:41:32.530
And I love stealing that fit VP model.

00:41:33.737 --> 00:41:34.878
Everybody's like, oh, frequency,

00:41:34.898 --> 00:41:36.041
intensity, time, type, volume,

00:41:36.061 --> 00:41:36.360
progression.

00:41:36.380 --> 00:41:38.043
I go, those are exercise principles.

00:41:38.324 --> 00:41:40.407
Those are also communication principles.

00:41:40.588 --> 00:41:41.949
Those are relationship principles.

00:41:42.311 --> 00:41:44.213
Those are all the principles.

00:41:45.096 --> 00:41:46.338
Those are the only levers you can pull.

00:41:47.081 --> 00:41:48.103
Oh, that's good.

00:41:48.123 --> 00:41:49.663
I had not thought about that in that

00:41:49.682 --> 00:41:51.063
way, but that's really good.

00:41:51.083 --> 00:41:52.925
You would say low frequency,

00:41:52.965 --> 00:41:53.965
but high intensity.

00:41:54.025 --> 00:41:54.925
That's a town hall.

00:41:55.365 --> 00:41:56.425
So that might be good.

00:41:56.485 --> 00:41:57.126
It might be good.

00:41:57.746 --> 00:42:00.327
But would you need small groups quarterly?

00:42:00.648 --> 00:42:02.829
That's more frequency, but less intensity.

00:42:03.409 --> 00:42:06.630
What about a one-on-one that meets every

00:42:06.990 --> 00:42:08.452
three weeks or monthly?

00:42:08.751 --> 00:42:11.733
That's higher frequency, less stakes,

00:42:12.253 --> 00:42:12.454
right?

00:42:12.474 --> 00:42:12.893
Yeah.

00:42:13.755 --> 00:42:13.934
And...

00:42:15.262 --> 00:42:17.143
I come from the land of frequency,

00:42:17.463 --> 00:42:19.744
like quite literally radio frequency,

00:42:19.844 --> 00:42:21.184
but like, that's not what it,

00:42:21.224 --> 00:42:22.804
that's not the frequency has to do with

00:42:22.844 --> 00:42:23.405
wavelength,

00:42:23.425 --> 00:42:25.905
but how frequently do you show up and

00:42:26.186 --> 00:42:26.586
ask?

00:42:26.606 --> 00:42:28.266
Yeah.

00:42:28.347 --> 00:42:29.728
If it's once a year,

00:42:29.947 --> 00:42:31.568
are you shocked when you don't get good

00:42:31.628 --> 00:42:32.367
responses?

00:42:32.748 --> 00:42:34.009
And when you put it like that,

00:42:34.028 --> 00:42:34.548
you're like, well,

00:42:34.608 --> 00:42:37.909
obviously my door is always open.

00:42:37.929 --> 00:42:40.590
That might check a box, but,

00:42:42.641 --> 00:42:43.621
But if I don't know,

00:42:43.942 --> 00:42:45.663
if I feel weird about walking through the

00:42:45.702 --> 00:42:45.963
door,

00:42:46.003 --> 00:42:46.844
I don't know how to start that

00:42:46.884 --> 00:42:47.304
conversation.

00:42:47.563 --> 00:42:48.704
Hi, I'm here to complain.

00:42:48.744 --> 00:42:50.385
Like, no, I don't want to do it.

00:42:50.445 --> 00:42:52.405
But if you're asking, I don't know.

00:42:52.726 --> 00:42:55.286
Like frequency is always the lever in my

00:42:55.347 --> 00:42:58.708
mind that I like to pull on first.

00:42:58.907 --> 00:43:00.228
No, that's a great point.

00:43:00.327 --> 00:43:01.768
That's a really great point.

00:43:02.235 --> 00:43:03.237
Really?

00:43:03.777 --> 00:43:04.898
I didn't think that was,

00:43:05.059 --> 00:43:05.559
but I'll take it.

00:43:05.619 --> 00:43:06.099
No, it was fabulous.

00:43:06.159 --> 00:43:07.661
And I teach electrofizz,

00:43:07.701 --> 00:43:09.623
so it so made sense to me, right?

00:43:10.184 --> 00:43:10.985
Because I'm like,

00:43:11.445 --> 00:43:13.067
I can have the electrodes on you,

00:43:13.447 --> 00:43:15.289
but if there's not enough beats coming in

00:43:15.309 --> 00:43:17.451
or enough hertz, I'm not going to get,

00:43:17.971 --> 00:43:19.132
yeah, it's not going to do anything.

00:43:19.432 --> 00:43:20.853
So I felt that.

00:43:21.094 --> 00:43:21.454
Great job.

00:43:22.525 --> 00:43:25.487
You said we will not survive if we

00:43:25.547 --> 00:43:27.507
focus only on self.

00:43:28.088 --> 00:43:29.208
So let's look to the future.

00:43:30.748 --> 00:43:32.108
There's no good story unless there's

00:43:32.148 --> 00:43:32.568
tension.

00:43:33.429 --> 00:43:35.250
What happens if we don't change?

00:43:36.150 --> 00:43:36.891
For the profession,

00:43:37.311 --> 00:43:38.170
I'll frame it that way.

00:43:38.271 --> 00:43:39.012
As the profession,

00:43:39.251 --> 00:43:41.231
if we continue down the path we're doing

00:43:41.692 --> 00:43:43.072
and we don't take any of these things,

00:43:43.793 --> 00:43:44.813
heat of any of the things that we

00:43:44.833 --> 00:43:47.434
just talked about, what is the fallout?

00:43:47.454 --> 00:43:48.494
What does it look like when we fall

00:43:48.534 --> 00:43:48.954
off a cliff?

00:43:50.153 --> 00:43:52.655
So here's the world according to Lisa Van

00:43:52.695 --> 00:43:52.914
Hoose.

00:43:52.934 --> 00:43:54.695
So this is just my opinion.

00:43:55.016 --> 00:43:57.496
I do recognize that I represent other

00:43:57.536 --> 00:43:59.378
organizations, but this is my opinion.

00:43:59.918 --> 00:44:01.458
From an education standpoint,

00:44:01.498 --> 00:44:04.639
PT programs are going to close.

00:44:04.659 --> 00:44:06.039
There's just not going to be enough

00:44:06.119 --> 00:44:06.539
interest.

00:44:07.059 --> 00:44:09.440
If we cannot figure out a way to

00:44:09.561 --> 00:44:14.563
lower costs, lower the cognitive load,

00:44:14.742 --> 00:44:17.284
I'm not saying decrease your credit hours,

00:44:18.184 --> 00:44:18.405
but

00:44:19.547 --> 00:44:21.608
You've got to make sure that instruction

00:44:21.668 --> 00:44:23.449
is delivered in such a way that it

00:44:23.510 --> 00:44:26.510
reduces cognitive load and reduces the

00:44:26.570 --> 00:44:28.811
trauma during the learning process.

00:44:29.411 --> 00:44:31.072
If we cannot figure out a way,

00:44:31.612 --> 00:44:32.833
students just aren't going to come to our

00:44:32.893 --> 00:44:35.135
classes, right?

00:44:35.614 --> 00:44:37.356
And I feel very strongly about that

00:44:37.376 --> 00:44:39.396
because there's too many options now,

00:44:39.797 --> 00:44:40.697
right?

00:44:40.737 --> 00:44:42.257
This is not the nineteen fifties.

00:44:42.318 --> 00:44:43.518
It's not the sixties.

00:44:43.577 --> 00:44:44.998
It's not that, you know, there's only

00:44:45.539 --> 00:44:47.240
Fifty disciplines in health care.

00:44:47.521 --> 00:44:49.101
There's over two hundred disciplines in

00:44:49.161 --> 00:44:49.623
health care.

00:44:49.663 --> 00:44:51.264
So if somebody wanted to be in health

00:44:51.284 --> 00:44:51.603
care,

00:44:51.943 --> 00:44:53.324
there's all different kind of ways they

00:44:53.364 --> 00:44:54.065
can participate.

00:44:54.465 --> 00:44:56.606
So we've got to get more attractive from

00:44:56.628 --> 00:44:59.068
an educational standpoint.

00:44:59.690 --> 00:45:01.231
From a clinical standpoint,

00:45:01.951 --> 00:45:05.172
I think we are saying the wrong message

00:45:05.713 --> 00:45:07.875
because right now the message is about our

00:45:07.934 --> 00:45:08.476
features.

00:45:08.556 --> 00:45:09.795
So I'm going to use what you said

00:45:09.876 --> 00:45:10.597
earlier, right?

00:45:11.201 --> 00:45:13.061
We are a doctoring profession.

00:45:13.581 --> 00:45:17.103
We have done seven years of training.

00:45:17.364 --> 00:45:19.204
We are in the community, right?

00:45:19.284 --> 00:45:20.826
It's a lot of we messaging.

00:45:22.806 --> 00:45:24.827
People do not, like,

00:45:25.248 --> 00:45:27.047
even if you're in a room with another

00:45:27.108 --> 00:45:28.929
individual and all you hear them saying is

00:45:29.188 --> 00:45:30.530
I, I, I, like,

00:45:30.630 --> 00:45:32.170
we don't like talking to that person.

00:45:32.934 --> 00:45:34.478
It gets creepy, right?

00:45:35.358 --> 00:45:38.184
So if the message was, you know what?

00:45:38.724 --> 00:45:43.273
Here's how PT is changing lives.

00:45:44.266 --> 00:45:46.806
Every state has a state health improvement

00:45:46.827 --> 00:45:47.246
plan.

00:45:47.967 --> 00:45:50.708
If we made sure that every clinic was

00:45:50.768 --> 00:45:53.108
addressing at least one measure from the

00:45:53.148 --> 00:45:54.708
state health improvement plan,

00:45:55.269 --> 00:45:56.829
then we can say back to states,

00:45:56.849 --> 00:45:58.510
you know what, we see you.

00:45:58.751 --> 00:46:00.570
We heard that this was a priority.

00:46:00.990 --> 00:46:02.512
This is how we're contributing.

00:46:03.632 --> 00:46:06.733
That's a different message than we've done

00:46:06.795 --> 00:46:07.335
all these things.

00:46:07.375 --> 00:46:08.175
And for that reason,

00:46:08.195 --> 00:46:09.516
you need to take care of us.

00:46:10.056 --> 00:46:12.239
It's like, no, we are an asset.

00:46:12.659 --> 00:46:14.199
You said this was your problem.

00:46:14.280 --> 00:46:16.141
Here's the assets we're bringing to the

00:46:16.181 --> 00:46:16.641
table.

00:46:17.163 --> 00:46:19.403
And then naturally people will want to

00:46:19.443 --> 00:46:21.085
partner with you and people will want to

00:46:21.126 --> 00:46:23.226
make sure that they take care of you

00:46:23.266 --> 00:46:26.449
because you brought value.

00:46:26.570 --> 00:46:29.211
I think sometimes our doubling down on

00:46:29.271 --> 00:46:32.295
self-advocacy makes us come off as really

00:46:32.335 --> 00:46:32.755
selfish.

00:46:34.405 --> 00:46:37.829
And it's hard to sell a selfish message.

00:46:38.289 --> 00:46:40.331
So I really would love to see us

00:46:40.431 --> 00:46:42.733
focus more on public health community

00:46:42.773 --> 00:46:43.373
messaging.

00:46:45.335 --> 00:46:46.876
And I think that would do us better.

00:46:48.469 --> 00:46:52.650
so i am afraid that within the next

00:46:52.690 --> 00:46:54.771
five years if we don't do some things

00:46:54.831 --> 00:46:57.152
quickly we're going to see pt programs

00:46:57.192 --> 00:46:59.293
closed down some people are excited about

00:46:59.333 --> 00:47:00.972
that because they're like supply and

00:47:00.992 --> 00:47:04.313
demand i also think that if our messaging

00:47:04.353 --> 00:47:07.155
does not change then what we're going to

00:47:07.195 --> 00:47:08.355
see is we're going to see other

00:47:08.434 --> 00:47:10.376
disciplines that have better messaging

00:47:11.536 --> 00:47:13.697
they're going to get to move into spaces.

00:47:13.777 --> 00:47:14.478
And we're going to be like,

00:47:14.538 --> 00:47:16.378
why is the athletic trainers there?

00:47:16.778 --> 00:47:18.780
Why is the exercise business there?

00:47:19.079 --> 00:47:19.280
Well,

00:47:19.320 --> 00:47:21.541
because they had a community facing

00:47:21.581 --> 00:47:22.021
message.

00:47:23.543 --> 00:47:25.304
The other thing that makes me really

00:47:25.344 --> 00:47:28.706
concerned is there's this big push to

00:47:28.786 --> 00:47:32.829
create PTs faster.

00:47:32.849 --> 00:47:34.889
We're not making widgets.

00:47:35.349 --> 00:47:38.492
We're not making, I don't know,

00:47:39.820 --> 00:47:42.063
Something production wise we're not making

00:47:42.103 --> 00:47:46.666
tires right you're making humans who have

00:47:46.686 --> 00:47:48.248
to have a certain amount of relational

00:47:48.268 --> 00:47:49.088
capacity.

00:47:49.969 --> 00:47:53.333
And we already are taking them from

00:47:53.373 --> 00:47:55.253
bachelor's degree right to doctoral

00:47:55.273 --> 00:47:55.695
degree,

00:47:56.114 --> 00:47:58.436
we know from neuroscience that there are

00:47:58.496 --> 00:48:01.159
parts of their brains that control empathy

00:48:01.639 --> 00:48:03.882
and compassion are not fully developed

00:48:03.942 --> 00:48:05.382
until they're somewhere between.

00:48:05.422 --> 00:48:05.463
To.

00:48:07.458 --> 00:48:10.159
So why are we moving so fast, right?

00:48:10.719 --> 00:48:12.561
If the issue is that we need to

00:48:12.601 --> 00:48:14.722
get practitioners out into the clinic

00:48:14.802 --> 00:48:18.083
earlier, then let's talk about that,

00:48:18.204 --> 00:48:18.463
right?

00:48:18.503 --> 00:48:20.284
So maybe it is time that we start

00:48:20.324 --> 00:48:21.585
talking about, you know,

00:48:21.646 --> 00:48:24.608
some type of tiered licensure setup so

00:48:24.668 --> 00:48:24.987
that

00:48:26.003 --> 00:48:27.525
They get their bachelor's degree.

00:48:27.585 --> 00:48:29.927
Maybe they do their first year PT school.

00:48:30.286 --> 00:48:30.967
Then after that,

00:48:30.987 --> 00:48:32.467
they go to work or maybe they,

00:48:33.289 --> 00:48:34.369
while they're getting their bachelor's

00:48:34.389 --> 00:48:34.809
degree,

00:48:34.849 --> 00:48:37.070
they become a PTA so they can go

00:48:37.150 --> 00:48:37.532
work.

00:48:37.931 --> 00:48:38.231
Right.

00:48:38.751 --> 00:48:41.074
And then once they've been in the field

00:48:41.094 --> 00:48:41.594
for a while,

00:48:41.673 --> 00:48:43.074
then they come back and work on their

00:48:43.114 --> 00:48:43.795
DPT.

00:48:44.255 --> 00:48:45.996
But this fact that we're going to take

00:48:46.077 --> 00:48:48.518
an eighteen year old and in five years

00:48:48.619 --> 00:48:49.860
at the age of twenty three,

00:48:49.960 --> 00:48:51.280
turn them into a doctor or PT.

00:48:52.115 --> 00:48:54.657
and they're going to be a safe clinician,

00:48:54.737 --> 00:48:56.679
and safe clinicians is not just about

00:48:56.739 --> 00:48:57.719
technical skills,

00:48:58.079 --> 00:49:00.079
it's also about relational skills.

00:49:00.561 --> 00:49:01.820
I'm not sure if that's true.

00:49:02.382 --> 00:49:04.483
We just are not respecting the social,

00:49:05.143 --> 00:49:08.505
what they call socio-emotional literature,

00:49:08.664 --> 00:49:10.766
that there has to be time for development.

00:49:10.846 --> 00:49:12.626
We know that from a rehabilitation

00:49:12.666 --> 00:49:13.648
standpoint, right?

00:49:14.288 --> 00:49:17.530
Where we will respect some six and twelve

00:49:17.570 --> 00:49:18.811
weeks of healing time,

00:49:19.530 --> 00:49:21.231
But then we don't want to respect that

00:49:21.271 --> 00:49:23.771
from a brain development and a cognitive

00:49:23.831 --> 00:49:25.492
learning time.

00:49:25.532 --> 00:49:27.193
So I think there are other ways we

00:49:27.233 --> 00:49:29.434
could address the practitioner need

00:49:29.474 --> 00:49:32.454
question without Russian half-baked

00:49:32.494 --> 00:49:33.815
clinicians to the clinic.

00:49:34.215 --> 00:49:37.197
But that's my take on it.

00:49:37.237 --> 00:49:37.436
Like,

00:49:37.456 --> 00:49:38.496
I once want to hit a gavel and

00:49:38.516 --> 00:49:42.278
be like, Lisa has spoken.

00:49:42.358 --> 00:49:43.778
If I had a microphone, I'd drop it.

00:49:43.798 --> 00:49:44.458
I don't want to drop it.

00:49:44.619 --> 00:49:45.039
I'm like,

00:49:45.260 --> 00:49:47.800
nobody likes half-baked anything.

00:49:48.081 --> 00:49:48.920
So stop it.

00:49:50.440 --> 00:49:53.206
Um, we were together at CSM in, uh,

00:49:53.226 --> 00:49:54.688
just a couple of weeks ago and you,

00:49:54.708 --> 00:49:54.849
uh,

00:49:55.731 --> 00:49:58.217
got an award and I like talking about

00:49:58.257 --> 00:49:58.759
awards.

00:49:59.371 --> 00:50:00.672
I like talking about awards for what we

00:50:00.713 --> 00:50:02.434
did to get, like, what was the thing?

00:50:02.474 --> 00:50:05.356
What was the purpose?

00:50:05.396 --> 00:50:07.059
Share what you did to get,

00:50:07.099 --> 00:50:09.139
because you didn't do the thing to get

00:50:09.179 --> 00:50:09.800
the award.

00:50:10.280 --> 00:50:11.702
You did the thing to do the thing.

00:50:11.782 --> 00:50:13.664
And then the Academy of Leadership and

00:50:13.684 --> 00:50:15.405
Innovation was nice enough to recognize

00:50:15.445 --> 00:50:15.686
that.

00:50:16.025 --> 00:50:16.706
And here's why.

00:50:16.987 --> 00:50:17.407
Number one,

00:50:17.688 --> 00:50:19.768
you deserve some accolades for doing that.

00:50:19.989 --> 00:50:20.570
But also,

00:50:20.789 --> 00:50:22.291
we want other people in the audience to

00:50:22.311 --> 00:50:24.213
be like, oh, look at that.

00:50:24.353 --> 00:50:26.414
How do I do that in my way?

00:50:26.534 --> 00:50:27.536
So talk about what you did.

00:50:28.516 --> 00:50:28.916
Yeah,

00:50:28.996 --> 00:50:32.338
so I was super honored to be recognized

00:50:32.538 --> 00:50:35.898
by my peers for helping to build an

00:50:35.958 --> 00:50:38.860
environment that supports mobility, right?

00:50:38.900 --> 00:50:40.681
From all the domains of mobility,

00:50:41.081 --> 00:50:43.943
physical mobility, emotional mobility,

00:50:44.003 --> 00:50:45.903
social mobility, financial mobility.

00:50:45.963 --> 00:50:48.965
So what the Ujima Institute does is we

00:50:49.005 --> 00:50:51.166
partner with communities to say, hey,

00:50:51.306 --> 00:50:53.186
what are the problems, right?

00:50:53.748 --> 00:50:55.547
What is keeping you from being able to

00:50:55.588 --> 00:50:56.708
live your best life?

00:50:57.454 --> 00:50:59.755
And what we found in our neighborhood was

00:50:59.835 --> 00:51:02.056
it was childcare, youth services,

00:51:02.115 --> 00:51:03.356
food insecurity,

00:51:03.896 --> 00:51:06.476
and then just basic health literacy.

00:51:07.496 --> 00:51:10.097
And so we went about doing those things.

00:51:10.157 --> 00:51:13.458
So we offered a childcare service.

00:51:13.518 --> 00:51:15.157
We had youth programmings.

00:51:16.018 --> 00:51:19.579
We trained young teenagers how to take

00:51:19.619 --> 00:51:21.778
vital signs and how to serve as healthcare

00:51:21.818 --> 00:51:23.239
workers so that they could go to

00:51:23.280 --> 00:51:24.840
appointments with their loved ones.

00:51:25.259 --> 00:51:26.099
and be able to be like,

00:51:26.139 --> 00:51:28.119
this is what these words mean, right?

00:51:28.579 --> 00:51:30.740
Because we, ooh,

00:51:31.782 --> 00:51:33.503
this is finna get political for a minute.

00:51:33.943 --> 00:51:38.085
So we know that when people have improved

00:51:38.144 --> 00:51:40.585
health literacy and they go into a

00:51:40.646 --> 00:51:42.646
clinical appointment and they say

00:51:42.686 --> 00:51:43.387
hypertension,

00:51:44.309 --> 00:51:44.608
Right.

00:51:44.949 --> 00:51:46.130
Not high blood pressure.

00:51:46.530 --> 00:51:48.050
Health care workers pay attention.

00:51:48.512 --> 00:51:50.012
It's just like with your children.

00:51:50.152 --> 00:51:52.014
What we know is that if your children

00:51:52.034 --> 00:51:55.655
knows the word vagina, penis, vulva,

00:51:56.016 --> 00:51:57.896
they are less likely to be sexually

00:51:57.936 --> 00:52:00.478
assaulted because the predator knows that.

00:52:00.539 --> 00:52:01.079
Wait a minute.

00:52:01.099 --> 00:52:02.800
That child is talking to somebody who's

00:52:02.860 --> 00:52:04.661
talking to them about their body parts.

00:52:05.141 --> 00:52:05.461
Right.

00:52:06.262 --> 00:52:08.963
So it was really important to us that

00:52:09.003 --> 00:52:11.164
community members knew the words.

00:52:11.791 --> 00:52:13.514
so that then they would get the attention

00:52:13.574 --> 00:52:15.956
of the healthcare worker because then at

00:52:15.996 --> 00:52:17.657
that point they got better care.

00:52:18.177 --> 00:52:20.320
And what was crazy about it was that

00:52:20.380 --> 00:52:22.702
community members would come back and go,

00:52:23.563 --> 00:52:25.565
I've gone to that doctor for ten years.

00:52:25.766 --> 00:52:27.487
That was the first time that person sat

00:52:27.507 --> 00:52:28.909
down and listened to me.

00:52:29.469 --> 00:52:32.492
So we created a healthcare worker system

00:52:32.532 --> 00:52:32.811
where

00:52:33.846 --> 00:52:34.967
Someone could call.

00:52:35.027 --> 00:52:35.867
They could say, hey,

00:52:35.967 --> 00:52:37.748
I'm going to go meet with my cardiologist.

00:52:37.789 --> 00:52:38.789
This is what's going on.

00:52:38.889 --> 00:52:40.550
What questions should I ask?

00:52:40.931 --> 00:52:42.231
And we would help them come up with

00:52:42.271 --> 00:52:43.811
the questions and help them come up with

00:52:43.831 --> 00:52:46.434
the words or find the guidelines, right?

00:52:46.793 --> 00:52:47.695
That's the other thing.

00:52:47.875 --> 00:52:48.414
We were like,

00:52:48.494 --> 00:52:50.175
start asking your health care workers,

00:52:50.235 --> 00:52:52.077
what guidelines are you using, right?

00:52:52.737 --> 00:52:54.179
So your mom's had a stroke.

00:52:54.378 --> 00:52:55.940
Ask them which stroke guidelines they're

00:52:55.980 --> 00:52:57.001
going to follow, right?

00:52:57.701 --> 00:52:59.342
That gets the attention of health care

00:52:59.382 --> 00:52:59.722
workers.

00:52:59.762 --> 00:53:00.103
And so

00:53:01.380 --> 00:53:03.240
These were things that the typical person

00:53:03.260 --> 00:53:05.661
would say, but that's not PT service,

00:53:06.242 --> 00:53:08.724
but it is, it falls underneath self-care,

00:53:08.903 --> 00:53:09.304
right?

00:53:10.125 --> 00:53:13.025
So if people can't live in environments

00:53:13.045 --> 00:53:15.268
that support their life,

00:53:16.407 --> 00:53:18.228
then it's hard to have a conversation

00:53:18.268 --> 00:53:18.809
about, yeah,

00:53:18.829 --> 00:53:20.090
come see me in the clinic two to

00:53:20.110 --> 00:53:21.670
three times a week for your low back

00:53:21.710 --> 00:53:21.951
pain.

00:53:21.990 --> 00:53:25.293
And they're like, I'm trying to, you know,

00:53:25.373 --> 00:53:26.994
have enough food and make sure my kids

00:53:27.034 --> 00:53:28.275
are safe and everything else.

00:53:28.335 --> 00:53:28.514
So

00:53:29.300 --> 00:53:30.481
Is maslow's law,

00:53:30.661 --> 00:53:31.862
you know you got to deal with those

00:53:31.902 --> 00:53:33.724
basic needs first before you can start

00:53:33.764 --> 00:53:35.764
talking about tertiary care and so.

00:53:36.646 --> 00:53:38.827
we've been able to work with Community to

00:53:38.907 --> 00:53:40.809
do those things and so like now we've

00:53:40.829 --> 00:53:43.510
got a Community garden we're trying to

00:53:43.530 --> 00:53:45.652
figure out our summer youth programming

00:53:46.132 --> 00:53:47.333
and we just finished.

00:53:48.422 --> 00:53:50.443
because we just had a pretty bad ice

00:53:50.463 --> 00:53:51.083
storm here.

00:53:51.123 --> 00:53:53.485
And so Ujima was able to mobilize with

00:53:54.005 --> 00:53:55.346
three other organizations.

00:53:55.405 --> 00:53:57.085
And over the course of four days,

00:53:57.166 --> 00:53:59.688
we were able to deliver four thousand

00:53:59.728 --> 00:54:02.108
meals to people when they were without

00:54:02.168 --> 00:54:02.668
power.

00:54:02.989 --> 00:54:05.070
And that like if you want to talk

00:54:05.090 --> 00:54:07.311
about bringing value to the profession,

00:54:07.351 --> 00:54:09.592
people are like that physical therapist

00:54:09.632 --> 00:54:11.253
over there, like that's Lisa.

00:54:11.474 --> 00:54:12.574
And if you have a need,

00:54:12.594 --> 00:54:13.255
she can help you.

00:54:13.315 --> 00:54:13.594
Right.

00:54:14.195 --> 00:54:15.775
So it's not just about

00:54:16.670 --> 00:54:18.391
you just come see me if your knee

00:54:18.431 --> 00:54:18.672
hurts.

00:54:18.771 --> 00:54:20.333
It's like, if you got a need,

00:54:21.132 --> 00:54:22.775
that's a healthcare person that can help.

00:54:23.574 --> 00:54:27.938
And that, that is you, that's invaluable.

00:54:28.518 --> 00:54:29.400
That's invaluable.

00:54:29.699 --> 00:54:30.541
So, yeah.

00:54:30.681 --> 00:54:32.021
I can't let you leave without giving a

00:54:32.081 --> 00:54:32.961
nod to Ujima.

00:54:34.724 --> 00:54:36.164
Just give a quick mention about what is

00:54:36.244 --> 00:54:36.385
it.

00:54:36.585 --> 00:54:38.567
And then we'll put the website in the

00:54:38.606 --> 00:54:39.007
show notes.

00:54:39.594 --> 00:54:42.556
yeah so ujima is basically the third

00:54:42.596 --> 00:54:44.797
principle of kwanzaa um it means

00:54:44.856 --> 00:54:47.398
collective work and responsibility so in

00:54:47.478 --> 00:54:50.420
layman's terms my brother's problems are

00:54:50.460 --> 00:54:52.481
my problems my sister's problems are my

00:54:52.521 --> 00:54:54.422
problems that humans problems are my

00:54:54.461 --> 00:54:57.762
problems um so don't turn a blind eye

00:54:57.782 --> 00:55:02.806
to people so and then and do what

00:55:02.846 --> 00:55:06.407
you can every little bit helps i'll share

00:55:06.427 --> 00:55:07.547
the uh the website there well hey

00:55:07.568 --> 00:55:09.028
congratulations on your award

00:55:09.702 --> 00:55:10.983
I knew you wouldn't want to come on

00:55:11.003 --> 00:55:12.563
the podcast to talk about an award,

00:55:12.943 --> 00:55:14.405
but we'll talk about other things and then

00:55:14.425 --> 00:55:16.646
the work that went into the award.

00:55:16.666 --> 00:55:17.047
Yes.

00:55:17.626 --> 00:55:20.608
Now, here is where Ujima needs help.

00:55:21.869 --> 00:55:23.311
So let me tell y'all where we need

00:55:23.331 --> 00:55:23.570
help.

00:55:24.052 --> 00:55:25.753
So as I said...

00:55:26.465 --> 00:55:28.025
one of the things that community has said

00:55:28.065 --> 00:55:30.005
that they needed is childcare services.

00:55:30.545 --> 00:55:32.027
So what we did in the past is

00:55:32.067 --> 00:55:34.427
we actually did like your traditional

00:55:34.626 --> 00:55:36.347
childcare set up, right?

00:55:36.807 --> 00:55:38.327
So when you think about childcare,

00:55:38.387 --> 00:55:40.088
you know, you take them to a center,

00:55:40.128 --> 00:55:41.608
they're with you from seven to five,

00:55:41.648 --> 00:55:43.630
you've got childcare work, um,

00:55:43.809 --> 00:55:44.670
childcare workers.

00:55:45.309 --> 00:55:47.931
Margins in childcare centers are very

00:55:47.990 --> 00:55:49.030
small, right?

00:55:49.070 --> 00:55:50.692
They're anywhere between five to fifteen

00:55:50.731 --> 00:55:51.211
percent.

00:55:52.152 --> 00:55:52.311
Um,

00:55:52.833 --> 00:55:56.114
And that is not manageable because what we

00:55:56.155 --> 00:55:58.896
tried to do different in Ujima was we

00:55:58.976 --> 00:56:00.496
knew that the household,

00:56:00.536 --> 00:56:02.237
the median household income.

00:56:02.838 --> 00:56:05.500
So typically your child care should be

00:56:05.539 --> 00:56:07.221
between five to ten percent of your

00:56:07.260 --> 00:56:08.360
disposable income.

00:56:08.860 --> 00:56:11.583
That meant that weekly child care roughly

00:56:12.123 --> 00:56:13.304
needed to be between one hundred and

00:56:13.324 --> 00:56:14.523
twenty five to one hundred and fifty

00:56:14.563 --> 00:56:15.324
dollars a week.

00:56:15.445 --> 00:56:15.664
Right.

00:56:16.373 --> 00:56:19.297
That is half the price of what other

00:56:19.317 --> 00:56:20.697
child care centers.

00:56:20.797 --> 00:56:22.018
Yeah.

00:56:22.478 --> 00:56:24.721
So that was not a sustainable model.

00:56:25.081 --> 00:56:29.625
So you have a group of amazing,

00:56:29.744 --> 00:56:31.907
brilliant people that follow your show.

00:56:32.947 --> 00:56:35.510
What would be a model where we could

00:56:35.570 --> 00:56:39.532
still provide all day services for

00:56:39.552 --> 00:56:42.554
families, but it not be child care?

00:56:42.594 --> 00:56:44.376
So like some of the things we've thought

00:56:44.396 --> 00:56:45.996
about is could we offer it as a

00:56:46.056 --> 00:56:47.137
wellness model, right?

00:56:47.458 --> 00:56:49.418
That you drop your child off at seven

00:56:49.438 --> 00:56:50.840
o'clock in the morning and you can pick

00:56:50.860 --> 00:56:52.760
them up at five and we're going to

00:56:52.820 --> 00:56:54.501
work with them on their wellness and

00:56:54.521 --> 00:56:55.742
physical activity, right?

00:56:56.483 --> 00:56:59.625
Something where it's not child care.

00:57:00.826 --> 00:57:04.188
um because the child care industry is so

00:57:04.309 --> 00:57:06.250
over regulated so that's the other part of

00:57:06.309 --> 00:57:08.050
it is that there's so many fees and

00:57:08.110 --> 00:57:10.233
everything else associated with that that

00:57:10.253 --> 00:57:11.693
that's part of the reason why it has

00:57:11.713 --> 00:57:15.056
to be so expensive um so we're trying

00:57:15.076 --> 00:57:16.536
to figure out is there another way to

00:57:16.577 --> 00:57:18.318
do that some people have talked about you

00:57:18.338 --> 00:57:21.360
know could we do a parent co-op right

00:57:21.400 --> 00:57:23.601
where parents then become the co-workers

00:57:23.981 --> 00:57:26.423
but if y'all got ideas about how we

00:57:26.443 --> 00:57:29.045
could provide all-day child care services

00:57:30.184 --> 00:57:33.045
for that pre-K through four-year-old group

00:57:33.164 --> 00:57:35.306
or even infants to four-year-old groups.

00:57:35.346 --> 00:57:36.826
That would be greatly appreciated.

00:57:37.365 --> 00:57:39.206
What's some innovative ideas out there?

00:57:39.726 --> 00:57:40.467
I'll get on it.

00:57:41.827 --> 00:57:43.007
I'll call you back soon.

00:57:43.168 --> 00:57:43.748
I'll be on it.

00:57:43.768 --> 00:57:48.009
I got faith in you.

00:57:48.048 --> 00:57:48.349
Yeah.

00:57:49.349 --> 00:57:50.090
Last thing we do, Lisa,

00:57:50.110 --> 00:57:51.110
is called the parting shot.

00:57:51.369 --> 00:57:52.530
What's the thing you'd want to leave as

00:57:52.570 --> 00:57:54.070
your mic drop moment or your soapbox

00:57:54.090 --> 00:57:54.971
statement as we wrap?

00:57:56.248 --> 00:57:58.731
Yeah, if you're not part of the solution,

00:57:58.751 --> 00:57:59.650
you're part of the problem.

00:58:00.771 --> 00:58:02.853
Either you're in the boat and you're

00:58:02.893 --> 00:58:04.635
rowing or you're an anchor.

00:58:05.434 --> 00:58:06.016
Lisa Van Hoose,

00:58:06.036 --> 00:58:06.795
thanks for doing what you do.

00:58:07.496 --> 00:58:08.097
Thank you.

00:58:08.257 --> 00:58:09.577
Thank you always for your time.

00:58:11.617 --> 00:58:12.697
That's it for this one,

00:58:12.958 --> 00:58:14.639
but we're just getting warmed up.

00:58:15.099 --> 00:58:17.018

Happy now?
