Graham Sessions Unplugged: Reimbursement, Students & the Future of PT

In this special episode recorded live at Graham Sessions, Jimmy talks with clinic owner Mike Reing and Marymount University DPT Dean Skye Donovan about what’s broken in the profession — and what it’ll take to fix it.

You’ll hear:

• Why clinic owners are frustrated with declining reimbursement
• How to actually hire and retain new grads
• The divide (and opportunity) between academics and business
• What PT education needs to teach that it currently doesn’t
• Why optimism still matters — and how to find it

Whether you’re a student, academic, or clinic owner, this conversation hits on the real tension — and the real possibilities — in PT today.
