563. Finding Your Why: Kevin Morris on Burnout, Advocacy, and Building a Life Outside the Clinic
The Healthcare Education Transformation PodcastShow Notes
Kevin Morris joins me to explore the deeper reasons behind burnout in physical therapy—and why staying connected to your personal values may be the key to surviving (and thriving) in this profession. Kevin opens up about his unexpected entry into PT through a high school job, the physical toll of clinical work, and why he's turned to both resistance training and civic engagement as lifelines outside the clinic. We talk about the importance of protecting your body as a PT, the value of community service, and how students can discover their “why” through simple reflection on what already brings them joy. Kevin also unpacks the financial challenges of DPT education and advocates for structural change in the cost and delivery of higher ed. If you're searching for purpose, balance, and a bit of inspiration in your career journey—this one hits all the right notes.🔗 Learn More About Our Guest At:📸 Instagram: @dr.kevinmorris🧠 Special FeatureLast 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.com📢 General Podcast Info🎓 New Course!
