Clinician wellness isn’t just about self-care, it’s about leadership, ethics, and systems that either protect or drain healthcare professionals.

In this live conversation from CSM, Lisa Kohler, PT and Ohio Physical Therapy Association board member, discusses a new national survey exploring wellness across the therapy profession, including Physical Therapist Assistants (PTAs), who have historically been left out of research.

Five years after COVID, clinicians are still reporting anxiety, burnout, and moral injury. This study aims to identify the biggest needs, from emotional well-being to financial stress, and guide meaningful resources at the chapter, state, and national level.

If you’ve ever felt like surveys only focus on patients and productivity, this one focuses on you!
