Real talks about the victories, the struggles, and all the experiences that make up the journey to become a Doctor of Physical Therapy.
Hosted by me, Tayler Ah Nee, a first year PT student.
For any future DPT, any undergrads aspiring to become a DPT, or any student in the field of medicine, I hope you can be inspired and gain a better sense of awareness and understanding through these shared experiences.
In this podcast, I speak to PT students about their journey getting accepted in to PT school, and some of the strategies they implement to be successful during school. I also talk to currently practicing Physical Therapists, learning about their journey through school and their experiences while working in the field today. In addition, I bring on health and fitness professionals from many different fields to get their unique perspectives on health and current events. There are lessons to be earned in every step of the way, and my goal is to bring people these stories so we can all learn from each other!

In this episode, I get to speak with one of my mentors and former co-worker, Dr. Kevin Truitt. Kevin is one of the most experienced and knowledgable PT's I have ever met, and I was lucky to have the opportunity to hear his journey through Physical Therapy.
Kevin has worked many years in a professional baseball organization, where he was able to gain some incredible exposure to a professional organization and be surrounded by some of the top medical providers. This experience carried over when he eventually switched to working with the general public in outpatient orthopedics.
Kevin also shares some of the ways his practice has evolved over the years, and some of the changes he has made to his own approach to being a well-rounded healthcare provider.
Tons of great stuff in here, be sure to give it a listen!!

EP 1.22: Curiosity and Life Lessons w/ Dr. Berger
Hello everyone! I am so excited to share this awesome conversation with you all. I had the pleasure of speaking with my former professor and current mentor/inspiration, Dr. Christopher Berger. I first met Dr. Berger during my time at Arizona State University, and I have maintained a great relationship with him ever since! I was super excited to get him on the show and have him share some stories from his vast experiences as a professor and researcher!
In this episode, we talk about his initial journey to obtaining his Doctorate of Exercise Physiology and his time as a professor at various universities. He gives some fantastic viewpoints on what it takes to be successful in the classroom.
We also spend some time talking about the research process where he finds his true passions! We talk about the research project we worked on together, what it means to conduct meaningful research, and the importance of quality research in the medical field.
This was truly an amazing conversation and Dr. Berger constantly drops some real wisdom throughout, relating many lessons from school and research to life in general.
