BMT EP 132: "Professors, Practice, and Puns" featuring Director of Clinical Education at JAG PT Jonathan Elias, PT, DPT, OCS

Physical Therapy Month 2023 begins with our first guest Jonathan Elias. Check out our episode as we discuss the life of a PT educator, why the board exam has become so challenging to pass, and why having an outlet outside of healthcare if necessary to self-care. Jonathan graduated from SUNY Downstate Medical Center in 2013 and began his career in outpatient orthopedic practice. In 2017, Jonathan became a Board Certified Orthopedic Specialist. Jonathan is also an adjunct professor at the College of Staten Island’s Physical Therapy Program, with focus on orthopedic practice and therapeutic exercise. Other practice interests include: Differential Diagnostics, Vestibular evaluation and treatment, return to sport treatment, and post-operative care. Jonathan has also worked with other organizations to give guest lectures and in-services. When not treating or teaching, Jonathan performs both stand-up and improv comedy.
