Guest guest Posted October 19, 2005 Report Share Posted October 19, 2005 I was thinking the same thing Joe. I was also interested as to what experiences folks might have in a case such as this where a manager/director is a PTA and thus supervising PTs when in the clinical setting the PT would then be supervising the PTA who is their boss. Any challenges with these dynamics? Just curious.

Guest guest Posted October 19, 2005 Report Share Posted October 19, 2005 Are you kidding me? It is a management position which is completely independent of treatment and legal considerations. In fact, you will find a high percentage of sports medicine clinics are managed by certified athletic trainers. Their experiences gained through training room management and constantly interacting with physicians makes them much more qualified in management and leadership roles than most PT's.

Guest guest Posted October 20, 2005 Report Share Posted October 20, 2005 Sorry you feel that way. Of course there are PT's on site. I have 3 FT PT's, 1/2 PT, 2 OT, 1 SLP, Rehab aide. The dynamics have worked very well here and I'm please that my organization was open to recognizing my leadership, dedication, marketing and my vision. As far as performing reviews, there are set criteria, job descriptions, etc. As a PTA, who better to know if a PT has clearly set functional goals and clearly stated pt status. We also use senior level roles for Peer review. How do you perform reviews for other disciplines? My staff have clearly stated that they are thrilled to have a manager that listens, and responds to them. They have been thrilled with the depth of their reviews. I believe my Counseling/Administration MEd and prior work experience has prepared me well for this role.

Guest guest Posted October 20, 2005 Report Share Posted October 20, 2005 I believe a Clinic Manager should be hired based on managerial experience and expertise and not solely on clinical experience. Your best PT may not be your best Manager - a well-qualified manager, regardless of clinical background will be able to deal with the day-day non-clinical aspects of the job and utilize the experience and skills of the therapists he/she supervises when developing programs, assessing competency, etc. Suggesting that a PTA may not be sufficiently qualified to supervise PT's, in my opinion would be the same as suggesting that a OT, SLP or RN may not be appropriate to supervise PT's.

Guest guest Posted October 20, 2005 Report Share Posted October 20, 2005 , I did not realize is was possible to have a management position completely independent of treatment and legal considerations, does this position simply involve " pushing paper " ? Could'nt an office manager perform those duties? Before I entered a management role I had fantasies that managemnt was no more complex that that. Now I realize how silly that was. I guess I would agree that if there were such a position it would be appropriate. I manage a small clinic and the issues seem permanently intertwined to me. I do realize that in a larger organization this may not be the case. Also I would like to add that I believe your last statement regarding " most PT's " is wrong, and I hope I am not wrong on that one. Joe Ruizch, PT RE: clinic director rates Are you kidding me?
