Healthcare clinicians aren’t, or at least, shouldn’t be remained to patient facing roles. In fact, there are three primary career tracks that providers and organizations should consider when mapping out plans for career development. While the nature of healthcare finds its root in the patient care environment, there are other aspects to this ecosystem that desperately require attention to not only safeguard the future of healthcare; but, also to ensure innovation and forward moving progression for the healthcare system at large. So, without further ado… let’s dive right into  3 Primary Career Tracks You Should Consider! Via Ben Fung of UpDoc Media Learn more online - new online discussion group included!

By Dr. Sean M. Wells Many facets of nutrition can impact older adults' function and health. The focus on this blog article will be to highlight how inflammation, which can be mediated via diet, impacts older adult function and health.  Using the Dietary Inflammatory Index (DII), physical therapists can quantify the amount of inflammation a client's diet is provoking. Essentially the score ranges from as low as -5 to as high as 5, with a "fast food diet being reported at 4 and a macrobiotic diet being listed at -5. Probably the best diets on the DII are vegetarian Indian diets and other Asian diets rich in vegetables and spices. Another way of "scoring" or ranking the inflammation cause by a diet is to use an A-F system. An "A" score would be ideal and the most negative (e.g. close to -5, which is the least inflammatory), while "F" is the most inflammatory (e.g. most positive, 5). An average, or "C" score, would be a 0.   Usin...

Detecting errors in reasoning can set you up for a better understanding of how to interpret scientific data. Many writers, willingly or unintentionally, report claims with logically incorrect reasoning that undermines the validity of their argument. 5 Types of Fallacies to be Aware of Part II by Cameron Faller Being able to detect these logical fallacies helps you speculate on the factual data aiding in clinical decision making. 👉Strawman - This fallacy occurs when someone tries to oversimplify or misinterprets a statement to make it easier to attack. 👉Bandwagon - It may seem easy to follow the crowd when discussing certain topics, but just because the majority believes a proposition is true, doesn’t necessarily mean it’s true. 👉Appeal to Authority - This occurs when relying heavily on the opinion of someone you look up to or is well known. Just because someone in a position of power believes something to be true, doesn't make it true. 👉False Dilemma - Most t...

By Dr. Sean M. Wells, DPT, PT, OCS, ATC/L, CSCS, NSCA-CPT, CNPT, Cert-DN Continuing our series on  gut health  and the gut microbiome, we are going to talk about a new finding in the ever-expanding gut bacteria research: a gut biome health score. Similar to how we have credit scores, which can denote whether a person has good or bad credit history, a gut biome health score may give physios and other healthcare providers insight into many facets of a patient's lifestyle. Recall the gut biome is the bacteria, archaea, fungi, and some viruses that live within our small and mostly large intestines. These small bugs live in a symbiotic relationship with our bodies and: Help to produce neurotransmitters (90% of serotonin is made by gut bacteria) Process foods to make health short chain fatty acids (SCFA) which can improve cardiovascular health Modulate the immune system response The last factor likely has the biggest implications for physical therapists (PTs). As rehabil...
