Research, Social Media & The Business of Physiotherapy
1 hour 30 minutes
The instructors
In the first episode of the webinar Expert Series, we sat down with Greg Lehman, Sanjeev Bhatia, Jesse Awenus, and Nicole Sullivan to discuss entrepreneurship, clinical research, social media, and business. This webinar is over, but you can find the recording by clicking here.
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 together collaboratively? What do you need to feel supported in your practice, connected with your peers and something about growth?
Join a Sanjeev Bhatia, Greg Leham, Jesse Awenus, Nicole Sullivan and Maggie Bergeron for our first ever complimentary webinar on Embodia.
We will be sitting together to have sushi and cocktails, so please join us for a late dinner online (sorry we can't deliver sushi and beers to everyone!) There are only 100 seats available for this webinar.
This webinar is really about you and we will primarily be taking community questions, some topics may include:
- Entry-level training for physiotherapists - is it adequate to allow clinical competency?
- Is research congruent with clinical priorities?
- As a profession, physios are resistant to change and are hesitant to integrate new technologies and innovations. Fear or fact based?
- 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!
