Practicing at the Top of License: Expanding the Role of the PT

Physical therapists bring a deep clinical skill set to musculoskeletal care, with opportunities to apply that expertise in ways that extend beyond traditional models of practice.

In this episode of the Practice Experience Podcast, WebPT's Alex Bendersky sits down with Jeremy VanDevender, founder and managing partner of Equus Growth Advisors and longtime physical therapy leader, to discuss what it really means for PTs to practice at the top of their license. Drawing on nearly three decades in the profession, Jeremy shares why he believes practicing at the top of license means making greater use of PTs' expertise in evaluation, diagnosis, and care planning, while building more collaborative care models alongside PTAs, athletic trainers, and other providers.

Jeremy also shares lessons from his career on clinician development, the value of continued learning, and how practice leaders can create environments where their teams have opportunities to grow. From education and mentorship to outcomes and technology, the conversation offers a look at the many ways PTs can continue building on their expertise throughout their careers.
