  • Good podcast

    I really appreciate the theme of this podcast as primary care PT is so important. In a way it’s niche, but primary care PT can touch a variety of populations. Guests in different settings and populations keeps the content fresh.

    I do feel like the host offers her opinions more than I am used to on other similar podcasts. I think it detracts a bit from having guests with a variety of perspectives on, as she has multiple short spiels per episode. It takes away from the guest’s time and it feels l... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

PCPT from Haiti to Hometown
Q: Can you give me a, what has been your experience in evaluating or observing other orthopedic, you know, I should say primarily orthopedic, outpatient orthopedic physical therapists?
Denny says routine vital-sign checks are a basic, practical improvement for outpatient physical therapists. They can identify concerns that have not been recognized, establish baselines, and support timely education or referral.
PCPT from Haiti to Hometown
Q: Tell us a little bit about your background in general and then how you got into Primary Care PT.
Morgan Denny says her work in Haiti exposed her to patients with medical concerns beyond musculoskeletal problems. Working alongside medical professionals and studying primary care helped her build screening skills, which she later applied in the United States and developed into a practical course for physical therapists.
Inside an ACO Partnership: PT and Value Based Care at Southeast Health
Q: How do you measure and communicate value to the physicians, and what data do you collect or share?
We use EMR-based data and patient-reported outcomes to benchmark performance, explain cost-per-episode, and track downstream effects like imaging or injections; the aim is to demonstrate tangible cost savings and improved care.
Inside an ACO Partnership: PT and Value Based Care at Southeast Health
Q: So do you see this as maybe your next step might be putting a PT in the primary care space, doing more of these warm handoff visits where you are in the primary care clinic when patients are being seen for the first time?
Yes, there's opportunity, but there are cost-structure and affiliation considerations when clinics aren't part of our health system; still, the goal is to prove value through episodic care and eventually integrate PT more directly in primary care with clear ownership and shared outcomes.
S4E10: CMS ACCESS Program w/ "The Techy Surgeon," Dr. Christian Pean
Q: Tell us a little about your background and how you ended up in this space.
The guest describes a winding career across orthopedic surgery, health policy, and health-tech entrepreneurship, including roles at Duke, the Margolis Institute, and founding Revel AI Health to bridge policy, tech, and clinical care.
