PT School Burnout is Killing the Profession

PT students are burning out before Day 1… and no one’s talking about it. We went through it. We lived it. But is it getting worse? And is the system broken before the career even starts?

Dave Kittle, Tony Maritato, and Jimmy McKay dive into why PT students are burning out before they graduate. Is the DPT model broken? We share our own school stories, discuss the hidden pressures, and how certain personality traits predict success in the clinic.

Whether you're a PT student, a clinic owner, or thinking about physical therapy as a career, this episode will make you rethink the education-to-employment pipeline.
