F Scott Feil:

\\u201cThere\\u2019s so many different ways to leverage any of your degrees.\\u201d

\\u201cThere\\u2019s been a wish for more interprofessional communication and collaboration.\\u201d

\\u201cGet rid of lectures and let\\u2019s just get out into the clinic and do more rounding and clinical learning with the other professions in the real setting.\\u201d

\\u201cThere just needs to be more interprofessionalism amongst healthcare.\\u201d

\\u201cWe just need to get back to patient centric care.\\u201d

\\u201cWe are finally coming into our own and we\\u2019re owning our field as movement experts and movement and musculoskeletal specialists.\\u201d

\\u201cIf you\\u2019ve got an idea and you\\u2019re afraid of criticism\\u2014just go out and do it, try it. Worst case scenario you\\u2019ll learn from it.\\u201d

Stephanie Weyrauch:

\\u201cThere\\u2019s this weird limbo that a new graduate has.\\u201d

\\u201cTrying to improve problem solving and critical reasoning within the student population is really important.\\u201d

\\u201cThere are just as many good clinical instructors as there are bad clinical instructors.\\u201d

\\u201cYou should be more worried about how the student perceives you as a teacher than how you perceive the student.\\u201d

\\u201cWe need more academics.\\u201d

\\u201cDon\\u2019t be afraid to ask for feedback.\\u201d

Brandon Poen:

\\u201cWe cannot deny that finances are involved and run a lot of it too.\\u201d

\\u201cIt\\u2019s not the DPT program that necessarily sets the cost, it\\u2019s the people and the finances above them.\\u201d

\\u201cThere has to be this broad exposure because at the end of the day people are going to choose different routes.\\u201d

\\u201cYour network equals your net worth.\\u201d

\\u201cWe are not going to grow if we are not uncomfortable.\\u201d
