Show Notes
At CSM 2026, Jimmy sits down with Devon Morris to discuss generational differences in physical therapy — and why clinic culture may matter more than compensation for retaining Gen Z clinicians.
Key themes include:
- The impact of growing up in a “phone-based world”
- The Zoom communication shift
- Why stereotypes about “kids today” miss the point
- Burnout and student debt realities
- Why some therapists leave higher pay for better culture
- How intentional leadership improves retention
If you're a clinic owner struggling with retention — or a PT navigating your early career — this episode delivers practical insight.
