If you’re interested in a CVP Physical Therapy residency consider applying to the residency at @umichmedicine. They have a great program and the best mentors. I’m lucky to have been a resident in their program. DM with any questions.
Interested in growing your #cvpPT skill set? Our residency at @umichmedicine is back on track after a pandemic hold last year. Link here, or DM me with ?s medicine.umich.edu/dept/pmr/…

It’s amazing how quickly deconditioning occurs in the hospital. Before my hospitalization, I was running 4-5 miles. After 3 days of not moving in the ICU, a 10 minute walk is exhausting. I have a much better understanding about why I ordered all those PT consults during intern yr

Calling DPT/PTA students: are you interested in professional advocacy and policy? Are you interested in learning more about the APTA House of Delegates (HOD)?

Disappointed that I can’t be at #APTAHOD this year. Can’t wait to see all the amazing work the delegates have done already and will continue to do at the 2019 house!

Being a house usher last year and seeing APTA policy making in action was one of the best experiences I have had in PT school. Highly recommend applying! Better yet #APTAHOD is in Chicago this year!
House ushers have the opportunity to see how the physical therapy profession governs itself and sets professional policies. Applications are open through April 1, 2019. bit.ly/168oRER #APTAHOD

In a survey published in the @CPTJournal, 51.8% of respondents felt that measuring BP during evaluations was not important and 85% did not routinely measure BP during evaluations. By incorporating vitals screening, we can do our part to prevent strokes. #VitalsAreVITAL #cvpPT
