Why NOW is the Time to Specialize

33m · TheOncoPT Podcast · 11 Apr 18:00

ICYMI the American Cancer Society estimates that 2,001,140 new cases of cancer will be diagnosed in 2024.

While treatable & in some cases curable, cancer is becoming a bigger problem than we probably thought possible. Survivors are surviving longer, but at what cost…to their lives, their independence, their function, their mobility, their quality of life?

PTs are perfectly primed & positioned to step up & care for this rapidly expanding patient population. But this requires you to step out of your comfort zone & step into being a competent, confident clinician commanding your expertise in this field.

And this is exactly why it’s so important to specialize in oncology NOW.

Writing your oncology specialty exam case report is a huge undertaking.

And it’s easy to make silly mistakes that can derail your entire writing process.
