Show Notes
Are you sending job applications, updating your LinkedIn profile, and trying to network... But getting nowhere? You're not alone. Many new grad physio's make the same mistake. Being "hardworking," "passionate," and being "keen to learn" are great qualities to have. The problem is... They're also exactly the attributes that every other applicant is saying they have! In this episode you'' discover why being qualified isn't enough anymore... And what you need to do differently to stand out in today's competitive job market. You'll learn the difference between making claims and providing evidence... What employers are really looking for... And why effective networking has less to do with confidence and more to do with communication. Whether you're looking for your first physio role, preparing for your next career move, or trying to network better, this episode is for you! Enjoy the show!

I asked a question earlier this week on my socials...
Ever had a patient walk into your clinic with an injury you've never seen before… And suddenly felt like an imposter? In this episode, I explore why unfamiliar injuries can knock your confidence as a new grad physio... And more importantly, why falling back on the treatments and rehab exercises you already know doesn't always get the results you're looking for! I use a real-life case study as an example, to highlight the importance of clinical reasoning, about questioning your initial diagnosis, considering differential diagnoses, to help you adapt your rehab when a patient isn't improving. More importantly, I'll explain why you don't have to wait until you've seen an injury for the first time to start learning how to manage it. Enjoy the show! Andy Barker The New Grad Physio Mentor PS. If you're a final-year physio student or new grad looking to develop your clinical reasoning and become more confident managing complex or unfamiliar cases...

Early in my career I never got this. But one of the biggest improvements in my own practice came when I understood I could have such a bigger impact with my patients... By simply asking better questions. In this episode, you'll discover why “getting out of pain” is rarely the real goal for any patient... And why understanding what they actually want will completely change your assessments, communication and rehab planning. And I'll give you three simple questions you should be asking every patient you see (questions that were not taught at Uni)! Enjoy the show! Andy Barker The New Grad Physio Mentor PS.
