The vote is set for later today in Congress for the new healthcare bill. Regardless how the vote goes, emerging neuroscience and consumer savvy have already demanded rehab professionals change.
The question is, when will you?
Last month I had the opportunity to share my thinking on what we can learn from our colleagues in the CAM professions….both as providers and from their respective healing arts and sciences. Very little of what is done in traditional rehab these days will be either studied or delivered in 100 years as standard of care. Take a peak to see what you might gain through….
Opportunities in the Complementary and Alternative Medicine World Private Practice Section of the APTA February 2010 
A new article in our monthly magazine….The future is collaboration, not competition. I get pretty direct about some of PT's collective 
shortfalls and encourage potential opportunities in "getting" along in the CAM world.
The article was originally requested for the next issue, the theme of which was "Outside the Box" PT. It got bumped for editorial reasons into the earlier issue, but they didn't edit out the out of the box introduction.
Anyway, turns out the image to the left is what they used for the theme….Am I the only one that noticed he's still "in the box", not out of the box?
All in good fun. Jeff Ostowski is the editor and is a wonderful professional. He tolerates my definitely out of the box thinking and ideas, but I did have to needle him a bit on this one!
