54: PTs and Clinical Research with Drs. Robin Linton-Fisher and Andrew Harrington

Unless you are a PT student or academic, you may not have a lot of daily exposure to research. But that doesn't mean that PTs are out there on the front lines of clinical research for all kinds of patient populations. We spoke with Drs. Robin Linton-Fisher and Andrew Harrington, both clinicians at Helen DeVos Children's Hospital in Grand Rapids, MI, as well as clinical researchers for patients with different movement disorders. Did you know that you can get PDR credit toward license renewal in Michigan just by listening to Waves episodes? It's true! You can receive up to six PDR credits (one credit per hour of media watched or listened to) per license renewal cycle by watching or listening to "professional education media related to practice of PT" (⁠activity code "d" from the Professional Development Requirements for License Renewal: Key Points of the State of Michigan General Provisions document⁠). After listening, simply fill out the ⁠Physical Therapist or Physical Therapist General Response Form⁠ on LARA and save for your records. You're already listening to the podcast; might as well get PDR credit for it! Music by ⁠Mark Joesting⁠ and Andy Wicks.
