Elevating the Role of PTAs in Healthcare – Interview with Jimmy Pacini
In this week’s episode, we get deep into the future of physical therapy and the pivotal role of Physical Therapy Assistants. Joining Jerry Durham is Jimmy Pacini, a seasoned PTA and educator, who shares his insights on how PTAs are often underutilized in healthcare settings and the vast potential they bring to the industry. We explore the evolution of PTA education, challenges in defining the value of PTAs in clinics, and how shifting mindsets can lead to better patient outcomes and business growth.
From building stronger PT-PTA teams to reimagining clinical models and the patient experience, we challenge conventional thinking and look at how PTAs can contribute far more to the system. Whether you’re a physical therapist, PTA, or clinic owner, this episode is packed with valuable takeaways for improving the efficiency and impact of your practice.
Tune in for a candid discussion on breaking out of the box, understanding the true value of PTAs, and envisioning a healthcare system that puts patient care at the forefront.
Episode Highlight: “If we stop trying to make the current system work and instead recreate it to meet the true needs of our profession, PTAs can play a far more significant role in patient care. It’s about getting out of the box, rethinking how we serve patients, and showing the value we bring.” -Jimmy Pacini
