Episode 400 - The MDT Diploma Programme: Final Exam Prep 44:55

1 year yang lalu44:55

44:55

In episode 400 of the Mechanical Care Forum, we’re continuing with Season 13 highlighting the McKenzie Institute International Diploma Program. Today we’re connecting with three other candidates, Micah Sales, Daniel Paggan, and Ray Peralta, who like me are scheduled to take the final exam of the program soon after this recording. We’ll hear how they’re feeling about it, how they’ve approached study, what they’re learning and plenty more. This week on MCF! SHOW NOTES (by Jayla Hall) (3:30) Diploma Candidates of the 2023 Cohort Micah Sales is located in Athens, GA. He works as a clinical director in the outpatient clinic of FYZICAL Therapy and Balance Centers, seeing primarily orthopedic and neuro patient populations. Gary Dykes, a senior instructor for the McKenzie Institute USA, was strongly influential in Micah’s pursuit of the MDT Diploma Programme. Ray Peralta is located in New York City, NY and serves in an outpatient orthopedic clinic attached to NYU Langone Health Hospital. Ray also owns an online business (Running Pain-Free) which is concerned with injury prevention and sports performance with runners, integrating MDT principles in this endeavor. Noticing the patient care outcomes of his colleagues, Ray decided to pursue the MDT Diploma Programme. Daniel Paggen is located in Durham, NC and works within an outpatient clinic. He primarily sees the orthopedic patient population. Daniel began his MDT journey in 2011. (5:55) Perceptions of the MDT Diploma Programme and Take-Aways Daniel discusses the issue of balancing family and home life, work, and time away from the clinic to undertake the program. Micah reflects upon the organization and time management required of the programme with his full-time position as a clinical director. (12:52) Clinical Residency and Patient Cases Ray alludes to a patient case in which he oscillated with his differential diagnosis between a lumbar derangement or an SI joint. Micah pinpoints the thought process of the McKenzie Method, underlining the clarity that he gained of it for the sake of efficient patient care. Daniel recalls a patient who, without the prior experience and guidance of his clinical instructor, Daniel could have worsened. (16:45) Approaching the Final Exam Ray continues educating himself on the recent literature and applying studies for the purposes of the oral portion of the exam. Ray also utilizes the MDT Diploma Manual and Robin McKenzie’s “Treat Your Own…” series for preparation. Micah and Daniel confer within study sessions, reviewing McKenzie’s older texts, the Diploma Clinical Concepts, and research articles (all from which they generate their personal notes). (20:12) The Literature and its Impact on Patient Education Daniel refers to the concept of centralization as a prognostic indication for a patient’s chronic pain that had successfully centralized throughout her care. Educating this patient on centralization, Daniel also provided illustrations of peripheralization relative to centralization. Referring to chronic pain patients, Micah regards Mark Werneke’s studies pertaining to centralization and directional preference. Micah also mentions Richard Rosedale's Extremity Pain of Spinal Source (EXPOSS) publications. Jason highlights the shared decision-making cultivated within the therapeutic alliance. (23:55) Psychosocial Aspect of the Biopsychosocial (BPS) Model Regarding the contextual and cognitive-emotional drivers of pain and disability, Ray incorporates the Yellow Flag Risk Form (YFRF) into his patient intake, as well as the Modified Oswestry Low Back Pain Disability Questionnaire (MOLBPDQ) and STarT Back Tool. Quote: “It’s okay to listen to [the patient.] If you listen, [the patient] will tell you what he/she needs.” –Daniel (30:00) Final Prep for the Final Exam and Hopes for the Future Ray considers inquiring into founders Mark Miller and Chad Gray’s company Integrated Mechanical Care (IMC). Daniel is eager to share with his professional colleagues the knowledge that he acquired throughout the MDT Diploma Programme, as well as his thought process which was enhanced due to undergoing it. Micah contemplates serving as a mentor, engaging in research and publication, and–later down the line–pursuing the Mckenzie Institute OMPT Fellowship Program. We would like to thank Episode 400’s sponsor, The McKenzie Institute International. The McKenzie Method of Mechanical Diagnosis and Therapy is globally recognized as a leading treatment for back, neck and extremities disorders. The McKenzie Institute International offers the diploma program to those professionals who have achieved prior certification in the method.

Episode 399 - The MDT Diploma Programme: The Clinical Placement - Texas, USA 44:55

1 year yang lalu44:55

44:55

In episode 399 of the Mechanical Care Forum, we’re continuing with Season 13, spotlighting the Austin, Texas USA clinical placement site. Emily and I discuss our experience with Chris Chase, our clinical instructor for this 9-week placement. We discuss Chris’ history with the program, the site itself, what’s unique about this placement site from other sites, some objectives both Emily and me had upon commencing this time, the challenges both being away from our homes and jobs, the individuality of the clinical placement for each candidate who comes through from Chris’ perspective, and plenty more! Show Notes (by Jayla Hall) (3:40) Meet Clinical Instructor Chris Chase Graduating in 1999 from St. Louis University, Chris earned his Master’s Degree in Physical Therapy. Chris became credentialed in the McKenzie Method in 2002; and he completed his diploma training in 2009. Chris soon joined the mentoring aspect of the MDT Diploma Programme, officially mentoring as an assistant diploma educator (2010) then appointed to Teaching Faculty with the McKenzie Institute USA (2012). Chris is now a Senior Instructor. (5:50) Structure of the Clinical Residency in Austin, TX The clinical residency is a hospital-based clinic. It entails a total of 360 clinical hours, and this time is divided into sessions of manual therapy practice, tutorial themes and topics of the Diploma Manual, and, primarily, direct patient care (e.g., clinical reasoning, performing evaluations, performing follow-up visits, and discharging patients) under the supervision of clinical instructors Chris Chase or Kim Green. Roughly 60-70% of patient care is spinal; and the remainder is extremity. Quote: “[We focus on] using the McKenzie Method at not only the credentialing level, but at the highest diploma level. You can’t [attain this] from just reading the books or attending the classes. You have to have somebody over your shoulder watching you make decisions [as the instructor] performs clinical mentoring/tutoring [with the diploma student] in a collaborative environment.” –Chris Preparation for the Final Exam Chris and Kim prepare diploma candidates for four verbal subparts of the final examination (lumbar spine, cervicothoracic spine, managing extremity patients, and research and other topics), creating most of their tutorials in the same fashion as the diploma exam. (17:08) Individualization of the Clinical Residency to the Diploma Candidate(s) Quotes: “Week one is [the diploma students] becoming comfortable with [the clinical instructors] and [vice versa]. By the second to third week is where you really start to see some personality develop, and [the instructors] start to [consider] individualization.” –Chris Chris explains his observations of candidates’ deficiencies and strengths: “The real challenge becomes not just the academic but more the personality issues. Some [students] come in as naturally great communicators. It is actually much easier if they have knowledge gaps [rather] than somebody who has great knowledge but their communication is not a natural skill.” –Chris Emily’s Patient Cases (21:48) ; Combined Movements in Clinical Intervention (27:35) ; Biopsychosocial (BPS )Aspects (30:21) (23:55) Chris Expands Upon MDT Assessment, Classification, and Treatment Quotes: “If you have a strong sense of ‘I have my classification based on my initial history and baselines,’ then it’s okay to begin treatment; but know that you’re still always on that first visit critically analyzing ‘are the responses making sense?’ and ‘am I getting a response that I’m comfortable with [to continue progressive forces]?” –Chris “A lot of people in the Mckenzie Institute [USA] think that we, [clinicians], don’t really want to use hands-on very much… I don’t actually use my hands to manage many patients, but I use them a lot in the evaluative process…for overpressure to learn. [Hands are] another tool to assess our patients when I don’t have a clear answer.” –Chris “Ultimately, if you have a good knowledge base, then you can start to progress with management. If you have questions that need to be answered, choose the movement or testing strategy that’s going to answer the critical questions.” “Don’t make any assumptions; pick what you’re going to learn from.” –Chris (35:25) The Ideal Diploma Candidate Chris lists candidates’ most common reasons for pursuing and undergoing the MDT Diploma Programme: To be appointed to Teaching Faculty To improve their research of the McKenzie Method To be a better clinician for their patients, and a better mentor to their colleagues The candidates who typically do well in the program, Chris asserts, are those who declare: “I want my patients to get better–as good as the people I’ve seen on these courses.” (38:42) Final Thoughts Quote: “I didn’t know what I didn’t know, and I’m hoping that I have now filled the gaps [in my knowledge and skills].” –Emily We would like to thank Episode 399’s sponsor, The McKenzie Institute International.

Episode 398 - The MDT Diploma Programme: The Clinical Placement - New Jersey, USA 44:55

1 year yang lalu44:55

44:55

In episode 398 of the Mechanical Care Forum, we’re continuing with Season 13, spotlighting another from this year’s cohort: Tim Davis along with his clinical tutor Todd Edelson. We discuss Tim’s hopes for the placement going into the 9 weeks, Todd’s intention and structure of the clinical time, a couple of patient cases which offered some good learning opportunities for Tim, and plenty more! Show Notes (by Jayla Hall) (3:30) Meet Todd Edelson and Diploma Candidate Tim Davis Tim Davis currently works in a private practice outpatient clinic in Montana. His hopes for the clinical residency include improved communication with the patient and efficiency in clinical care. Todd Edelson is a diplomate of the McKenzie Method of Mechanical Diagnosis and Therapy. Beginning in 2003, Todd has been directing the MDT certified clinic Montclair Physical Therapy in New Jersey. (6:00) Todd’s Diploma Clinical Residency Montclair Physical Therapy is a primarily direct-pay private practice (services may also be covered by Medicare insurance). Patients’ motivation, therefore, typically differs from that which is observed in an insurance-based physical therapy clinic. Quotes: “We train our patients to be independent rather than dependent, which is [an essential facet of the McKenzie Method].” –Todd Clinicians also provide a 1:1 service to prevent double-booking, and every evaluation and follow-up is one hour and thirty minutes, respectively. Todd continues: “There’s plenty of time for the patient, and there’s plenty of time for us–the clinician and diploma candidate–to really go through a meaningful thought process. It’s not rushed.” During any given residency, Todd has supervised one or two diploma candidates. In both cases, he has observed a general contentment of a single candidate or two candidates who share their clinical residency. In the latter case, Todd pinpoints the significance of personalities interacting and how well-meshed they are in the collaborative process. Quote: “The benefit of having two people is that they can [collaborate]. They help each other: if I ask a question and one doesn’t know, then the other comes in like an older sibling to help out.” (11:34) DPT Manual Tutorials (19:47) How to Be a Life-Long Learner: Todd’s Advice for the Diploma Candidate Todd refers to Robin McKenzie’s quote ( “My patients taught me everything I know” ), highlighting the importance of the patient in the clinician’s continued learning and education. Quotes: “Listen to the person [who’s] sitting in front of you, because [he/she] knows more about [his/her] problem than anybody [else].” –Todd “[The patient] is going to have plenty of time to tell [the clinician] his/her story, and we need to hear it.” “It’s not about being fast [in the evaluation]; it’s about being accurate.” –Todd (25:12) An Enlightened Moment in a Patient Case Tim recalls a moment in the evaluation process in which he conducted a ~20-25 min. history intake before noticing the patient’s right lateral shift upon standing. Reflecting on this, Tim presumed that he would have been aware of the shift if he’d observed the patient walk into the clinic prior to the evaluation, consequently saving time during the evaluation and efficiently correcting the shift. Quote: “The things that we learn most are the things that we do [incorrectly]. You learn nothing by being [correct] all the time. If it’s not a safety issue, then I will let it go [because] it becomes a much greater learning experience.” –Todd (32:30) The Value of Clearing the Spine (34:56) Tim’s Clinical Growth We would like to thank Episode 398’s sponsor, The McKenzie Institute International. The McKenzie Method of Mechanical Diagnosis and Therapy is globally recognized as a leading treatment for back, neck and extremities disorders. The McKenzie Institute International offers the diploma program to those professionals who have achieved prior certification in the method.
