Dr. Gail Deyle joins the show to discuss clinical reasoning, diagnostic skill, and the evidence supporting OMPT. A true clinician-scientist, Dr. Deyle has spent decades conducting clinical trials, mentoring fellowship-trained clinicians, and advocating for direct access and advanced evaluation skills in physical therapy.
In this episode we explore:
• Why PTs are essential contributors to global health
• Evidence showing OMPT’s high benefit and low risk
• The real impact of fellowship training on clinical outcomes
• Advanced interviewing and reasoning as core PT competencies
• The importance of diagnostic screening by PTs
• Direct access and why restrictions harm patients
