It is time for a reintroduction.
My name is Dr. Rebekah Griffith, the ED DPT.
I'm a physical therapist who practices in the Emergency Department. My goal is to make #EDPT well-known & well-practiced. And this is how.

"I didn't become a physician because I didn't want that responsibility."
Good news - you don't have the same responsibility as a physician. However, you do have the responsibility to provide the best patient management you can within your scope.

We generally wait to get involved. A patient comes to us with an existing problem. They have an illness/ injury and they need to regain their function.
What if we position ourselves to help them maintain their health and function?
Who better.

When your healthcare system is committed to collaboration and upstream care and your staff is practicing at the top of their scope outcomes are better, staff retention is better, and patients are happier.
Let's talk about what you need in order to change the game.
