Sushi, Cocktails and Conversations: Episode 3

This is not a webinar about movement, mechanics or manual therapy. 

This is a webinar about what we need as a profession and what you need as a physiotherapist.

This webinar will challenge you to think outside of the box.

What direction do we need to go as a profession to ensure we build momentum, gain public attention and work collaboratively? What do you need to feel supported in your practice, connected with your peers and something about growth?

Join Jas Dhir, Vince Cunanan and Maggie Bergeron for our third complimentary Sushi, Cocktails & Conversations webinar on July 18 at 8pm EST. 

This webinar is really about you and live polls will be taken throughout the webinar to determine the direction of the conversation. Some topics may include: 

• How do you incorporate the biopsychosocial model into your physiotherapy practice?
• Is research congruent with clinical priorities?
• What advice would you give to your 25 year old self?
• What does the orthopaedic division provide to CPA members and how can I become apart of the community?
• Do we have a unified voice as a profession? Does it matter?

There are only 100 seats and these will go fast so sign up today!
