About
It's exciting to see how much our profession has advanced over the last several years. I am passionate about physical therapists functioning as first-contact providers in direct access roles. I feel that the direct ordering of diagnostic imaging by physical therapists fits very well with this model of care and I am hopeful this practice will become normative in the future.
