Videos from PT 2.0 Presentation




I’ve gotten quite a few requests to link to the videos from my AAOMPT presentation. Here’s my favorite one from the super-fun Socialnomics Social Media Blog. The other good video, “Ordering Pizza in the Future” can be found here on YouTube. Also check out CommonCraft’s, “Social Media in Plain English.”

Can You Write?

US_Capitol_Building_at_night_Jan_2006We know the world is all about Healthcare reform right now…well a lot of it is. I saw that Congress received 150,000 phone calls in one day!

Well, if you don’t feel like calling and can’t get to Capitol Hill for a visit, try writing a letter! Check out this extremely detailed post about writing letters on the AAOMPT Student Special Interest Group blog.

PT 2.0: Considerations for an Evolving Marketplace

PT 2.0Check out my AAOMPT presentation: Physical Therapist 2.0: Considerations for an Evolving Marketplace.

I will be posting the videos from the presentation after my travels. Stay tuned.

Capitol Hill Day

Today, hundreds of physical therapists, members of the APTA’s Othopaedic section, and members of AAOMPT, are spending the day on Capitol Hill meeting with as many legislators as we can.

In today’s rapidly changing healthcare arena, the timing of this event couldn’t be better. Providing input from the physical therapist’s perspective is important as so many decisions are about to be made. The day has started out well, with some excellent breakfast at the Russell Senate Office Building. Present were the leadership of representative organizations. Left to right: Jay Irrgang (APTA-Orthopaedic section) Scott Ward (APTA) and Bob Rowe (AAOMPT).

A Simple Solution: Posterous.com

Eric's PosterousI get asked by quite a few physical therapists about the best way to establish some sort of online identity for themselves or, more often, their business. While my gut reaction is to suggest a WordPress, this does take at least some footwork to get off the ground and to look nice. Another option which, due to the insanely simple process of setting it up, maybe more palatable to some folks is Posterous.com

Posterous allows everyone to make a blog on the fly, and they take care of images, hosting, posting, etc. All the user has to do is to remember the email address to post something (post.posterous.com), find something of value on the web worth sharing, or write down some thoughts, and click send. That’s it!

This article by Guy Kawasaki does a great job explaining how one can use Posterous to it’s full potential, including simultaneously posting to several social media sites and blogs.

Its AAOMPT!

How about we start blogging again here at NPA Think Tank! I’m off to my favorite conference of the year, the Annual Conference of The American Academy of Orthopaedic Manual Physical Therapists.

I’ll be presenting on physical therapy in the evolving healthcare landscape. For now, here is my current landscape, the clouds over Atlanta.
