It's Not Burnout! It is Moral Injury: Why Should Regulators be Concerned?
July 29, 2020 | 3:00 p.m. ET

The concept of Moral Injury is relatively new to health care but closely related to the notions of burnout and moral distress. This presentation will explore moral injury as it relates to physical therapy. In addition to introducing the concept of moral injury, we will explore the impact on patients and clinicians.

Changing Hats: Conflicts Between Professional Interests and Public Protection in Board Decision-Making
August 25, 2020 | 3:00 p.m. ET
Speaker: Rebecca Allensworth
A licensing board's mandate—to protect the public—can conflict with a profession's interest in maintaining its identity, autonomy, pay, and prestige. This potential for conflict is problematic because most boards are dominated by members of the very profession they must regulate; often members have spent years advocating for their profession through an association. The presentation will identify blind spots and problem areas for board members hoping to "change hats" and truly serve the public as a board member.

Using the Board Assessment Resource (BAR) as Part of Strategic Planning
October 14, 2020 | 3:00 p.m. ET
Speakers: Steven Scherger and Erin DeTomaso
This session is a case study example of how using the information from the FSBPT BAR can improve board performance as well as individual board member knowledge and engagement. The Minnesota Board of Physical Therapy had used the early framework of the BAR to assess board performance during strategic planning to improve operations, orientation of board members and staff, and retention of information. As early adopters of the BAR, this webinar will share the board's experience regarding how the BAR can complement strategic planning and allow board members to be more informed and engaged.

Components of High Quality Telehealth: Now and in the Future
October 27, 2020 | 7:00 p.m. ET
Speaker: Trevor Russell
COVID-19 has led to a high volume of telehealth activity within physical therapy. The experience of this has been mixed within the profession with many returning to in-person services as restrictions allow. In this session we will explore the components of a quality telehealth service from multiple view points (e.g., organizational, clinical) and discuss essential components for a successful service. We will also take a look at upcoming developments and how technology such as machine learning, wearables, and virtual reality are likely to impact the profession.

Don’t Cross That Line! The Regulator’s Role in Prevention of Boundary Violations
November 4, 2020 | 4:00 p.m. ET
Speakers: Susan Paul and Leanne Loranger
Boundary violations are not new within physiotherapy regulation. Conduct once perceived as acceptable is increasingly viewed negatively as societal expectations regarding professional conduct have evolved.
How can regulators proactively help registrants understand the principles of professional boundaries, recognize and reset boundaries when they have been blurred and avoid significant violations? Why should state boards consider getting upstream on the issue of boundary violations? What can be learned from the experience of one physiotherapy regulator that faced major legislative changes related to this issue?
The session will provide food for thought for state boards that are considering addressing this risk.

Speakers: Anne Wallestad, Ruggie Canizares, Nancy Kirsch, and Adrienne Price
This panel discussion, with BoardSource CEO, Anne Wallestad, and three members of the FSBPT Board of Directors, will focus on diversity and inclusion as it relates to physical therapy regulation. The session will probe various issues including “what elements of diversity should physical therapy boards be working on,” “what do we lose without diversity,” and “what do we gain with diversity.” The goal of the panel is to bring awareness of these issues to FSBPT’s members and get individuals thinking about how they can increase diversity in their own settings.
