Ep. 75 Wassinger Interview

AAOMPT Podcast: Physical Therapy Interviews with Content Experts

Dr. Craig Wassinger (e-mail, Twitter, ResearchGate, Google Scholar) of East Tennessee State University is interviewed by Kevin L. MacPherson regarding a publication from the Journal of Manual and Manipulative Therapy titled, “Pain knowledge, attitudes and beliefs of doctor of physical therapy students: changes across the curriculum and the role of an elective pain science course.” This episode contains information that will be interesting for educators and practitioners alike who want to explore the academic outcomes of spreading pain science content throughout a Doctor of Physical Therapy curriculum as compared to the potential benefits of implementing an additive course dedicated strictly to pain science.

Additionally, Dr. Wassinger is currently collaborating on a project centered at Radford University to develop a survey for DPT students, which is tied to the IASP Physical Therapy Pain Curriculum guidelines. If physical therapy faculty members are interested in liaising this project with their DPT students then please contact Dr. Wil Kolb: [e-mail].
