Learning never stops!

I believe in all our pracs it has become evident about this continued pursuit of learning as a physio. At practically all my placements there was a continuing education class or a presentation of some sort by the physios at the practice or externally employed individuals or sometimes the students were made to make a presentation on a topic’s. I myself had to do at least 5 different presentations at different stages of my pracs. With each presentation I did, I found myself understanding the topics I choose much better and sometimes it got me thinking about the different pts I had dealt with and how it may be applicable to them with the way i approach and handle them. It also developed my public speaking skills and made me more confident in presenting my topics. I found these sessions enriching as topics being presented usually lead to discussions where everyone was asked for their opinions and suggestions. It was a good consolidation of knowledge especially since sometimes there were senior physios’ around who could assist highlighting key issues especially with their wealth of experience in the field. This easy and open channel of a learning environment definitely creates an all rounded enriching experience.

It’s really nice to see this continuing evolution of our knowledge especially since uni has just finished.
