ASHT DEI Toolkit
Q: What is the DEI Toolkit and why was it created?
The toolkit was born from the organization's strategic plan to provide tangible, accessible resources for learning and growth in DEI, with materials ranging from training modules to podcasts and book clubs, all aimed at fostering culturally humble care and inclusive work environments.
Nerve Discussion: From Transfers to Compression
Q: How do you decide between conservative management and proceeding to surgery in patients with nerve compression symptoms?
We assess both objective results and subjective factors, like pain, sleep disruption, and functional impact, and often try conservative measures first, reserving surgery for cases where non-operative approaches fail or symptoms persist.
Nerve Discussion: From Transfers to Compression
Q: Where does the team-based model fit in for ongoing patient care after a nerve transfer or nerve graft?
The team-based model ensures ongoing re-evaluation, coordinated referrals, and data collection to inform the surgeon's decisions, with therapists often staying involved post-surgery to monitor progress and adjust rehabilitation.
2026 ASHT Pediatric Specialty Day
Q: How is Pediatric Specialty Day helping to create a network across the country?
The event brings together therapists with similar interests, offers approachable speakers with accessible contact information, and includes networking opportunities during meals and receptions to foster ongoing collaboration.
