556. Safe Spaces, Strong Connections: Redefining Relationship Building in Physical Therapy Education
The Healthcare Education Transformation PodcastShow Notes
Briana Partee isn’t just building a PT curriculum—she’s creating safer, more human-centered spaces in both academic and clinical settings. In this conversation, we talk about how Briana’s journey from treating complex trauma in underserved urban communities to teaching in the med school classroom shaped her core philosophy: relationships matter more than rules. She shares how she builds trust with her students, makes professional networking feel natural, and balances bold leadership with empathy. We also dive into how strategic relationship building helped her land jobs through casual hallway conversations and why listening and curiosity are the most underrated skills in healthcare education. This one is full of real talk, emotional intelligence, and the exact steps students and educators can take to build meaningful professional networks.🔗 Learn More About Our Guest At:LinkedIn: Dr. Briana Partee🧠 Special Feature:Last but not least, if you would like to improve your critical thinking, decision making skills, metacognition, and independent thinking...join the Metacognition of Leadership Institute (M.O.L.I.) at: HETMOLI.comCheck out the new course on Self Funding Your Own Conference Attendance: 👉 https://healthcareeducationtransformationpodcast.com/conferenceIf you’re preparing for the NPTE or teaching others who are, visit www.NPTEFF.com and use code HET for 10% off all purchases.
