Dr. Rupal Patel, PT, DPT twitter

• \\u201cEveryone had a unique perspective.\\u201d
• \\u201cEveryone also needed to feel safe to share their story.\\u201d
• \\u201cLook beneath the surface, the fa\\xe7ade, or the face to learn about what makes them diverse or what makes them unique.\\u201d
• \\u201cWe need more of these kind of venues where we have different people from different diverse backgrounds sharing their unique perspectives and stories.\\u201d
• \\u201cFind someone that they can relate to that is a physical therapist in their community\\u2026 and reach out to them.\\u201d
• \\u201cWe need to move beyond just talking about diversity and really putting some traction or action behind it.\\u201d

Dr. Monique Caruth, PT, DPT twitter

• \\u201cAfter hearing the other four women speak, it actually encouraged me to be more forthcoming about my experiences and my story because I know I am not alone.\\u201d
• \\u201cEven though we were all women, there was difference in ethnicity and also difference in sexuality and gender as well. Diversity shouldn\\u2019t be based on just gender or color.\\u201d
• \\u201cI hope we become a more inclusive profession and we all become better.\\u201d
• \\u201cWe are already at a disadvantage.\\u201d
• \\u201cIt\\u2019s important for people to see someone looking like them and being a role model for them as something to achieve.\\u201d

Dr. Uchenna Ossai, PT, DPT twitter, facebook, instagram\\xa0\\xa0

• \\u201cI\\u2019m not alone.\\u201d
• \\u201cThere\\u2019s nothing more inspiring and energizing knowing that you have a community within a community.\\u201d
• \\u201cIt\\u2019s hard to develop that sense of self worth.\\u201d
• \\u201cThere\\u2019s different repercussions.\\u201d
• \\u201cAll can be elevated by understanding our bias and bias is not bad but it\\u2019s bad if we deny that it exists.\\u201d

Sherry Teague, CFO, PTA twitter, Email: Teague@valuebeyondthevisit.com, Kornetti and Krafft Healthcare Solutions

• \\u201cGetting that message spread out will be really important.\\u201d
• \\u201cThe world inclusion is probably the word we should be using.\\u201d
• \\u201cWe didn\\u2019t get here in one motion\\u2026 it would be nice to see incremental steps across the board.\\u201d
• \\u201cYou only have one chance to make a first impression and oftentimes those kinds of things, the paper forms and the restrooms and the environment you walk into is the first impression you can make with the client.\\u201d

Dr. Lisa VanHoose, PT, PhD twitter

• \\u201cEveryone had a unique story but there was a commonality in the fact that their identities had almost marginalized them during their PT education.\\u201d
• \\u201cIt\\u2019s important for us to ask questions and for us to be ok with being in those uncomfortable experiences.\\u201d
• \\u201cThere\\u2019s this desire for us to be better.\\u201d
• \\u201cThat means you just need a little more validation in that you are worthy not just to be at the table but also to be asked to dance.\\u201d
• \\u201cThere\\u2019s more variation in a group then there is between groups.\\u201d
• \\u201cWe all kind of struggle from imposter syndrome but racism for professionals really makes that worse.\\u201d
