Welcome to Neuro U!
Welcome to Neuro U! It's so exciting to have you among fellow game-changers and inquisitive minds! Neuro University (U) has been a long time in the making. We have some amazing things planned and for being part of the early adopters of this community you will be getting exclusive benefits you won't be able to find anywhere else! Neuro U is just in its infancy, but the content, courses, counseling and community will be unmatched as you discover our roadmap. Your personal and professional growth is paramount to us, which is why we will be evolving weekly to ensure each of you is getting significant value out of this community. Here is a short list of the benefits of being a part of Neuro U: 1) You are NOT Alone! You are no longer isolated; you are seen, you have a voice here and you have a plethora of resources available at your fingertips. Whether you sat in the front of the class or stowed away in the background, by being here you are an essential and valued member of this community 2) Neuro U = Champion YOU. Neuro University was constructed with the idea that thinking differently needs to be championed rather than minimized or silenced. We endorse creativity, prioritize the latest evidence, and illuminate innovative thinking 3) Confidence, self-efficacy, and overcoming imposter syndrome are core components of what you gain here that help you become (and feel like) a Neuro Virtuoso 4) Mentorship is one of the main ingredients we use to conjure an exceptional experience for every one of you. Each of you has your own path, it's time you have customized mentorship to get where you're going. 5) Simplicity > Complexity. Healthcare is congested with complexity and the solution is simplicity. I've broken down barriers to allow each of you to learn the way that you learn best, whether that's verbally, visually, or kinesthetically. 6) Empowerment is my passion; I only achieve success when you achieve success 7) The ONLY Place that offers you have direct access to the scientists, researchers, and their studies that yield our foremost evidence

@Philip Lamoreaux thanks for having me! I’ve learned so much and have become reinspired that we as OTs can implement HIT evidence based research and make an impact in patients lives!

1. What motivated you to join this community? Since I got introduced to Phil he's been making my philosophy of Neuro re-re evidence based. My enthusiasm for Neuro became reignited as I joined Phil’s journal club and implementing HIT. I’m excited to join this community to continuously learn and implement evidenced based practice. 2. What's something you hope to learn or gain from being part of this community? I hope to learn intervention strategies to increase variability with functional mobility and UE function. I hope to build confidence administering standardized assessments. 3. What's a therapy skill you've recently started developing, and what inspired you to learn it? Documenting subcomponents of gait and how to address the various subcomponents. 4. Do you have any hidden talents or hobbies? What are they? I enjoy lifting heavy weights, yoga and walking. 5. What's your favorite way to spend a weekend? Self care time and family time 6. What's something you're passionate about and why? I’m passionate in seeing my patients progress. Human connection. Listening to my patients and understanding what’s most meaningful for them/salience. Building rapport allows me to push my patients outside they’re comfort zone to help them achieve they’re goals. 7. Where do you see yourself in 5 years? Honestly, I’m not sure. I’m currently collaborating with the COTA inpatient rehab unit and mentoring new grads. I’m open to new opportunities.

In! What time?
HELP! What would you do?
I had someone reach out to me about something that I have found happening all over the world. The message said: The COTA and I have been belittled by two new grad (one year out) PT and PTA who went to the recent APTA conference in Boston. Rumors I'm hearing at they want to start a HIGT program because me and the COTA aren't already doing it, they are introducing it to our manager even though I talked with the manager before I took the Walk the Walk Course to hopefully have my employer pay for the course. Surprise! They didnt'! I also approached the same PT about starting the HIGT program together after an inservice by Dr. Hornby (PT). They have ignored my ideas on how to increase intensity through focusing on the various subcomponents of gait. What it feels like is there is no respect for OTs at my organization. It's deflating. It's frustrating. I don't know what to do anymore to work cohesively with the PTs when trying to collaborate and getting shut down repeatedly and being disrespected. Lets discuss a few things: 1. Does anyone else have similar situations happening to them? 2. What ideas do you have about this particular situation and how would you go about addressing it? 3. How can OT's begin to get more respect in the medical setting? 4. Anything you would like to say to this OT who is feeling down and struggling?

@Sharon Ho hi, thank you for the feedback. I still took the course despite my boss not buying into the value of HIGT. I started implementing hit but definitely need to do better recording the data!

@Connie Reid I’m sorry you’re also getting pushback. But I wont stop despite others perceptions it’s not within my scope to do stairs or what am I doing when it may initially take 2-3 people to walk a patient. Thank you for the encouragement! HIT maximizing performance through occupation outcomes speak for itself!
