Emergency Department PT, Top-of-Scope Mindset & Reigniting Your Career


Recorded live at CSM, Jimmy sits down with Rebekah Griffith, PT, DPT, to talk about the growth of physical therapy in the emergency department — and what it takes to bring it into your hospital.


In This Episode:

  • What “Top of Scope” really means (mindset + skillset)
  • Why ED PT jobs aren’t widespread yet
  • How to pitch ED PT to hospital leadership (do a PT eval on the hospital)
  • Specialist vs generalist debate in acute care
  • Why conferences can reignite your professional energy
  • How networking creates lifelong career relationships


Rebecca shares a practical framework for introducing ED PT services:

  1. Evaluate your hospital like a patient
  2. Identify impairments and participation restrictions
  3. Align PT value with what matters to leadership
  4. Set measurable goals


This episode is about expanding what’s possible in your career — and protecting the future of the profession.
