I almost checked out when you said you were 100% confident for every patient when walking in the door haha, I cannot relate. I'm so freakin nervous to start my first PT job on Tuesday despite having a great education and amazing clinical experiences. I still love the video, thanks!
i am listening while typing my comment on this...This guy is my idol already in this field. i definitely remember all the stuffs you had shared in a PT world specially this video. I'm gonna be PT soon when i get my license in the US and for sure this advices gonna be of good start..Thanks man....God bless you...
@@drjustinleedpt yes im foreign grad from the Philippines,planning to take my license soon.Hope you continue to inspire others by your content videos..thanks and Godbless.
VERY insightful video! I'm about to start my first year of PT school in a few months, and it was great to see the lessons that you learned throughout your first year as a working DPT clinician! All of the three points you mentioned here are things that I'll definitely carry out and remember in the future :) thanks for sharing your insight!
I've been following your journey and I love all your videos! I'm in PT school right now, and I have a ton of family that lives in Oahu, small world haha. Appreciate what you're doing!
Thank you so much! I’m learning that the island is smaller than what the population size is - aka everyone knows each other haha I wouldn’t be surprised if your auntie and uncle came to our clinic haha!! Where are you in PT school?
@@drjustinleedpt I’m out near Mesa, AZ studying at A.T. Still University, 2nd semester of my first year! But yeah most of my family lives on the windward side like Kailua and Kaneohe. One cousin in Mililani, and some others sprinkled all over hahah!
@@taylerahnee5895 awesome program man! I had a couple students apply and get accepted there. They are having a great experience there!! Ahhhh that’s awesome. You’re fam is all over! Haha are you thinking of coming back anytime soon? Plans after graduation?
@@drjustinleedpt honestly my goal is to move back once I am finished with school! The desert is great but I need the ocean in my life! My big time goal is to open my own clinic on Oahu or the Big Island!
@@taylerahnee5895 that’s an amazing goal!!! I’m here to support you in any way I can to help you achieve your dream my dude!!!! Come back here and build your Ohana pt clinic haha
BROOOOO!! YESSS!!! I love to see people’s comment on how they have been watching me for years since I was in school. It honestly means so much to me to have such loyal supporters! Thank you for being there for me Vocal Sensations !!
@@krisha600 You're being stupid. He knows me okay. We've talked. The thing is I've changed my channel's name so that's why he wouldn't remember. Duh you failed attention seeker. Seems like you're the attention seeker. Haha. I don't even comment on channels. I know him okay! Guess your plan failed.... Hahahhaha
@@drjustinleedpt there are no cons with SNF’s right now, especially with COVID. Time clocks are being removed, you never have to stress out if the patient is waiting for you in the lobby because you’re working OP ortho and only have 30 mins per patient and can’t get everything done with the documentation (as you were saying in your prior video). Your schedule is super flexible and not stressful at all, the pay is WAY higher (in Cali you can find in house places giving $50 per hour with benefits), you’re the one that chooses when to see the patients, you can actually enjoy lunch without any stress 😂 it’s nice
@@Thesgfire that sounds like the life! I will definitely consider this setting in the future if I get tired of outpatient ortho and can’t take the burn out anymore haha I’ve been better with documentation, especially when I see patients so it helps manage my time. But thank you so much for sharing!!! This helps a lot.
Thanks for this video Justin! One of the MANY things I'm looking forward is connecting with my patients 😊 I would love to see more content about how your experience has been as a PT so far because I think it's SUPER helpful for PT students like myslf!!
Thank you so much for this comment J Kang!! Definitely plan to put more content out there to share my experiences, victories and lessons learned. Appreciate it!
We should refuse documenting off the clock its against the law working and not getting paid for it even if you are salary count the hours you work over 40/week and ask for a raise or leave
Thanks alot for this man. I'm a final year physio student burnout is something I've really been worrying about for the future. what you said really makes sense and I'll definitely try to really connect and listen with patients like you've said. I enjoy watching these videos very much. Best of luck in your career
So glad this video spoke to you. Literally the reason why I make my videos!! I try to dive deeper to connect with my audience than just give information - like how I did with you. Connection is SOOOooooo important. Something I really learned. Congrats on almost finishing !!!!
Hello can I do doctor of physical therapy..I did my bsc in clinical nutrition and dietetics in india...m I eligible for dpt ... which Type of DPT can I choose...u reply would be helpful
Depending on the level and type of education, the USA will determine if your education is adequate enough to practice or not. I would recommend checking out this site to see your eligibility www.fsbpt.org/Free-Resources/Foreign-Educated-PTs-and-PT-Assistants
I was shocked myself. I had a couple bullet points in front of me and was planning to trim the video up, but I was FEELING IT this video haha! Thanks for noticing my dude
Yeah you can become one. It also depends on your region. What kinda policies they have and stuff and then you can pick your interest whether it be sports, geriatrics, etc etc. I'm also an undergraduate student doing Doctor of Physiotherapy. Good Luck!
I would say it depends on where you are working. I think I remember that you are not in the United States? In the United States if you want to work as a sports physical therapist, you have to have your doctorate degree which is three years after undergrad. Then to make yourself competitive among other applicants, typically sports physical therapist will go through a residency and an additional fellowship after that. But it also depends on what level of sports physical therapy you want to go to. If you wanna work with the pros, you definitely have to have all of that experience. However if you want to just work at a sports clinic, having your doctorate degree works!
how easy is it to travel/vacation as a physical therapist? i really want to become a physical therapist but worry i won't be able to spend as much time with family
I've found that work-life balance and ability to take time off really depends on your setting and your employer. The most flexibility will come from working for a non-profit hospital or HH agency, and the highest demands on your time will likely come from working for a for-profit corporation (OP ortho or SNF).
@@melindaklinar4007 thank you! i think my goal right now is to gain experience in clinical settings and then work with a home health agency but i'm still in school right now so we'll what happens
@@melindaklinar4007 thank you for this reply! I gained value from your, I really appreciate your comments on my channel to help add additional value to other subscribers! ❤️
The work life balance as a physical therapist is actually pretty good! Most therapist find that they are able to spend time with family outside of work. When it comes to travel and vacation, you will accrue a time off and sickly, so you can utilize those things to take time off to travel with your family. Just like any job, you have to find it out and make sure your employer is flexible and accommodating to your schedule
Thank you for this video. I have a quick question. What are your thoughts on applying to schools that are currently not accredited? There is a school near my area that is a “candidate for accreditation” and has its first graduating class in 2022. Is it worth it to go to those schools? What are the risks, if any?
It’s definitely a risk to apply to schools that are not currently accredited because there’s a chance that the accreditation might not go through. The reason why it is important for school to be a credit it is because you need that accreditation in order to sit down for a licensing exam, which is super important LOL However, to my knowledge I have not heard of any schools that did not get accredited when they were in the candidate phase. Typically the schools that are pending the accreditation have a higher acceptance rate. Which is beneficial for you because it’s a higher chance that you get accepted!
@@drjustinleedpt Great Ill def consider applying to one! Also I just found out that I have an interview for West Coast University. One of the main reasons I applied to the school was from watching one of your videos lol. Thank you!
@@franzwong2831 DAAAANG HECK YES!!! I love it when I hear feedback that my video helped make important decisions for my subscribers. Thanks for sharing. And CONGRATS on your interview!! This is huge. When is your interview? Are you ready?
Hi Dr. Lee. If you're a working physical therapist and decided to get into DPT how many years would you be schooling? are u going again like 10 years or more than that to be a DPT?thanks😊
@@TheBusyB-DPT thankyou😊 I hope it's the same here in Philippines because whatever is your course when in terms of Doctor you'll need to study for 10 years or more.
@@TheBusyB-DPT thank you for sharing and adding value to this comment. Actually thank you for adding tremendous value to this channel and to the Facebook group! You are amazing and I really appreciate all your support ❤️❤️❤️
