Summary

In this episode, host D is joined by our first ever PT student guest, Dashaé, aka The Curly Clinician. Dashaé might still be in school but she’s already garnered quite the following as The Curly Clinician on her blog and Instagram, serving as an invaluable source of knowledge for pre-PT/PTA, current PT/PTA, and students from other health professions alike. She gives us a look into the education path for physical therapy students and tells us how she’s checking in with her mental health these days. Plus, she shares with host D what inspired her to go into PT and start the Curly Clinician.

You can follow Dashaé on her blog or Instagram @TheCurlyClinician. Be sure to subscribe, rate and review, and follow us on Instagram and Twitter @TheWoMed! Remember to submit your weekly Nurse D Energy moments to D on Instagram - we love reading and sharing them!
