Show Notes
Graduation season is here, and thousands of new grad physio's are entering one of the most competitive job markets in years. Yes, jobs are limited. But new roles are still being advertised. Sports like football and rugby are coming to the end of their seasons and looking to recruit and private clinics gear up for a busy summer ahead. The real challenge? Standing out from the crowd. Don't make mistake everyone else does by saying things like I'm... “A great team player” and a “strong communicator.” Everyone says this. And if everyone is saying this, how will this help you stand out? It won't, in fact... It does the opposite. It helps you blend in... Exactly the last thing you want to do! Listen to this week's podcast episode to learn what you can do differently to secure your first physio role. Because there are jobs out there. The question is... Why are other people getting hired and not you? Enjoy the show! Andy Barker The New Grad Physio Podcast PS. So is it a job problem or a you problem? Find out what to do differently in my free career webinar right here.

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. Want to overhaul your own subjective assessment so you truly understand how to help you patients? Head here for help!
