WOW WELL SAID!! Going to be a 3rd year PT student and plan on doing home health after I graduate to make the most money possible so I can get rid of all this student debt. Glad I found your channel and will be revisiting these videos next year!
Recently passed boards and am interviewing/ on the "job hunt". I've been doing a lot of research and am happy I found your channel. I love your attitude and you're spot on - Thank you for your content.
Amazing, informational video. Love the attitude man! Plan on getting into home health once I graduate in May. How has everything in the field changed due to the pandemic?
Really appreciated your comments and transparency on PTprogress's video regarding salary. We need more people like you who are honest, transparent, and intelligent. I will spread the words! Thank you so much Dr.Smith.
The course is being finalized - will be released by the end of the month. Just going through some QA right now .Also please share this video as its getting flagged by people that own staffing companies for exposing their bad business practices. I will let you know as soon as course is cleared for release. In the meantime you can joing my facebook group to ask me questions directly as well.
Hey Dr. Smith, do you still do consults? im taking my NPTE next week and Im looking to get into the industry as a new grad. I even have a clinical rotation in home health.
As a Home Health PTA. I can appreciate the information presented. I should however pointout that there in fact therapy only companies with PTA's alone earning well over 90k yearly. A big factor is understanding the case load, experience of the company, the relation of the company with the various Home Health agencies, and a hug plus is the owner being a PT rather than a businessman. To be clear, this is from a PTA perspective. But hey, the ROI as a PTA works well. HHA agencies with PTAs strictly don't typically provide a consistent case load, leading to the need of working for multiple agencies. Just my 2 cents as a PTA. Definitely good information for once I'm a DPT. Appreciate the info.
@@dr.smith_dpt I’m currently in my last OP rotation….. so I brought this up because I only had rotations involving these two settings (i definitely lean more toward acute because I enjoyed it more, zero chance that I see my life stuck in this “conveyor belt” type of feeling that outpatient ortho often gives me). If I do stick with the acute care route, am I just picking a different flavor of the same poison? or is there something I could do or consider to make the position as a new grad staff therapist more ideal? What advice do you have so that I can be more efficient/comfortable transitioning into jobs involving travel or home health? Feeling fucking lost at the moment.
@@kcuba1228 if you did acute care you can do home health - because they are higher level - best resources are my FB group, 10 CEU HH course, or my group coaching. Best advice i can give you though is to make as much $ as you possibly can then do your own thing. Being an employee sucks and is only worth it when making 6 figures or more. Control of your time that happens when you own a business is even more valuable
Dr. R. Brandon Smith PT, DPT, MPH I’m trying to find out what my self-worth will be as a new Grad OT. I’m getting ready to attend OT school and I’m trying to game plan on how I’m going to tackle my loans when I get out.
