In conducting virtual physical therapy evaluations, I focus on establishing a strong rapport with the patient to gather comprehensive information about their symptoms and medical history. I make effective use of digital assessment tools to ensure accurate evaluations. My goal is to create a comfortable environment where the patient feels free to express their concerns, allowing me to formulate an appropriate treatment plan.

I stay current with developments in physical therapy by reading professional journals, attending workshops, and participating in online webinars. Additionally, I engage with fellow professionals through forums and social media, which helps me gain insights into the latest techniques and tools in the field.

I have experience with various digital health platforms including telehealth tools like Doxy.me and SimplePractice, as well as electronic medical record systems such as Epic and Kareo. I adapt quickly to new technologies and am eager to learn and utilize any additional platforms that Flagler employs.

I develop personalized treatment plans by first conducting thorough initial evaluations to understand each patient’s specific goals, limitations, and conditions. Utilizing evidence-based practices, I then tailor strategies that align with their objectives, ensuring regular check-ins to adapt the plan as needed.

I have extensive experience working with the Medicare patient population, focusing on rehabilitative care that addresses their unique needs. I am aware of the regulatory requirements related to their treatment and work to provide them with compassionate, clear communication and effective strategies for self-management.

I value constructive feedback as a vital aspect of personal and professional growth. When I receive feedback, I take the time to reflect on it, understand the context, and consider how I can implement it to improve my skills and patient care practices.

During virtual sessions, I enhance patient education by using visual aids, providing handouts, and following up with recorded sessions whenever possible. I ensure that patients not only understand their condition and exercises but also feel empowered to engage in their recovery.

The potential of telehealth to increase access to essential care excites me about virtual physical therapy. It allows for flexibility and convenience for patients who may have difficulty visiting clinics. I am enthusiastic about leveraging technology to provide high-quality care and build lasting patient relationships.

I manage my time effectively while working remotely by employing a combination of structured scheduling and prioritization. I use digital task management tools to outline my daily goals and make sure to set aside dedicated time for patient interactions, documentation, and continued education.

I want to work at Flagler because I admire the company’s commitment to innovation in healthcare. The opportunity to contribute to a team that is dedicated to expanding access and improving health outcomes aligns perfectly with my professional values and aspirations as a Virtual Physical Therapist.
