Blog 8: Research and Working EQ

1. Working EQ: What is the best way to ensure a patient is efficiently cared for in an outpatient physical therapy setting.

2. Possible answers

• effectively utilize physical therapy modalities and plans of care
• individualize treatment based on patient's medical history and initial evaluation

3. The most important source I've come across that helped me come up with an answer has been the book "Introduction to Physical Therapy for Physical Therapy Assistants." It goes into gratuitous detail about what it covers and it's been really eye opening reading it the past couple of weeks.

4. My mentor is Andrea Haston, and I'm doing my mentorship at Casa Colina. Part of my EQ answer was taken from my experiences at my mentorship i.e what I've done around the office, what I've seen, and how my mentor deals with patients.
