If I ran the world, outpatient physical therapy clinics would only be open from 8:30-2:30pm. Employers would be flexible enough to allow their employees to flex their time to have physical therapy during the day. And all commuting would be done on magical rainbow unicorns – OK, maybe that last one is stretching things a bit too far.

In an organization that spans from coast to coast, north to south, it's simply amazing when we get large groups of us in the same room together to discuss the state of physical therapy and manual therapy. To hash out how best to evolve our approach to meet the needs of PTs today, and ultimately, the patients whose lives they're committed to improving. NAIOMT had a great turnout for our Northwest Regional meeting located in beautiful Portland Oregon a few weeks ago. We had sessions on strategies for further expansion of OMPT professional development and communication, as well as education and examination excellence. David Deppler facilitated our clinical mentorship training, which covered clinical instruction versus mentoring, resources and practice. We were also able to touch on research and publication development: improving the quality of fellowship projects.
