The Healthcare Education Transformation Podcast

Dr. Deanne Yates has spent her career pushing the boundaries of what’s possible for Physical Therapist Assistants (PTAs). As one of the few PTAs with a PhD, she has been deeply involved in education, competency testing, and regulatory changes that shape the future of the profession. In this conversation, we explore her journey from PTA to PhD in Adult Learning & Leadership, her extensive work with the FSBPT, and her efforts to enhance PTA education through curriculum design, competency assessments, and alternative learning models. Dr. Yates also shares insights into the importance of service, mentorship, and professional involvement, as well as how PTAs can navigate career advancement without necessarily becoming PTs. Whether you're a student, educator, or clinician, this episode is packed with thought-provoking ideas on the evolution of PTA education and the future of the profession.Check out the new course on Self Funding Your Own Conference Attendance:https://healthcareeducationtransformationpodcast.com/conferenceIf you are taking the NPTE or are teaching those about to take the NPTE, visit NPTE Final Frontier at www.NPTEFF.com and use code "HET" for 10% off all purchases at the website… and BREAKING NEWS!

Kieran McNally’s journey from the Irish military to private practice is anything but ordinary. After years of working hands-on with athletes and patients, he realized traditional approaches weren’t always enough. That led him on a deep dive into the science of pain, the brain, and how communication plays a vital role in healing. We talk about his book, Pain and the Survivor Brain, and why understanding pain as a form of communication can change everything for both patients and practitioners. Kieran breaks down why people stay stuck in chronic pain, how the healthcare system often fails them, and what clinicians can do to truly help. If you’ve ever been frustrated with pain management—whether as a patient or a provider—this conversation will give you a whole new perspective.Learn more about our guest at:https://www.amazon.com/Pain-Survival-Brain-Holistic-Approach-ebook/dp/B0CP5142N8https://www.kieranmcnally.net/[email protected] out the new course on Self Funding Your Own Conference Attendance:https://healthcareeducationtransformationpodcast.com/conferenceIf you are taking the NPTE or are teaching those about to take the NPTE, visit the NPTE Final Frontier at www.NPTEFF.com and use code "HET" for 10% off all purchases at the website...and BREAKING NEWS!!!!
