362: Dr. Brendan Sullivan, PT, DPT: Worker's Comp & Physical Therapy
On this episode of the Healthy Wealthy and Smart Podcast, Brendan Sullivan joins me to discuss worker's compensation advocacy. Brendan Sullivan, PT, DPT, OCS, MSCS, CSCS began practicing physical therapy in 1997 after graduating from Utica College of Syracuse University. Dr. Sullivan is an ABPTS Board Certified Orthopedic Clinical Specialist (OCS) and Certified Strength & Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) through the National Strength & Conditioning Association (NSCA). He is a member of the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA) & is active in both the Workers Compensation Research Institute (WCRI) NY Advisory Committee & New York Physical Therapy Association (NYPTA) Public Policy Committee. In this episode, we discuss: -How Brendan became involved in advocacy -Principles of advocacy: determine the issue, desired outcome, stakeholders, authority and public policy committee -What is worker's compensation? -Changes in the worker's compensation medical fee schedule -And so much more! Communicating with policymakers is an art and Brendan recommends, "You want everything to be comfortable and form a nice rapport but you have to get down to business." With advocacy efforts, there has been an incremental change in the fee schedule, "On average, all regions, there's going to be a 25% increase to the fees that are paid for PT and OT." While improvements in the fee schedule have been made, Brenden warns, "We don't want to see the potential benefit negated that would come from a fee schedule increase." Physical therapy is a feasible alternative to other treatments for pain management and the data shows, "Opioids still represent the highest drug spent within the worker's comp system." For more information on Brendan: Brendan Sullivan, PT, DPT, OCS, MSCS, CSCS began practicing physical therapy in 1997 after graduating from Utica College of Syracuse University. Dr. Sullivan is an ABPTS Board Certified Orthopedic Clinical Specialist (OCS) and Certified Strength & Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) through the National Strength & Conditioning Association (NSCA).

Dr. Sullivan opened a small personal training & wellness center in February 2001. After 2 short years, the business expanded into a more expansive gym where clients and local residents could utilize the facility during the week. His desire was to offer the public a comfortable facility where anyone could work with physical therapists in a setting where they could receive therapeutic services or the consultation of highly skilled fitness professionals. This blend of physical therapy & fitness services continues to be the driving force in the businesses success. As the public becomes more educated on the benefits of exercise & health maintenance becomes more self-directed the skills offered by physical therapists are self-evident. The centers' mission is to help individuals achieve and maintain their optimal fitness & functional level in the community and with recreational sports or activities. In 2016, he was named the Arthritis Foundation's Medical Honoree for their upstate NY Walk to Cure Arthritis. More recently, Dr. Sullivan became a Multiple Sclerosis Certified Specialist (MSCS) and graduated from Evidence in Motion Institute of Health Professions with his clinical doctorate.

On this episode of the Healthy Wealthy and Smart Podcast, Jenna Kantor, DPT guest hosts and interviews Lindsey McAlonan on advocacy. Lindsey McAlonan is the SPT Delegate in the Student Assembly and she wants to inspire students to find their passion within this profession. Most importantly, she has found the value of being an advocate for patients and the PT profession. She wants to challenge all students to take a step outside their comfort zone to educate people on physical therapy, continue to stay active in the APTA, and bring a positive change to the profession in order to enhance their experience. In this episode, we discuss: -Why Lindsey loves her position in the Student Assembly -The difference between advocacy and policy -Grassroots advocacy outlets to get involved in -How to utilize the APTA Action App -And so much more! Advocating for physical therapists and patients is as easy as telling people about the benefits of physical therapy. Simply, "Being able to tell people about what we do is advocacy." As the SPT Delegate, Lindsey welcomes student concerns as she states, "I want to be that voice for the students at the House of Delegates." For the most impactful advocacy, Lindsey recommends, "Bring a personal story." For more information on Lindsey: Draw a circle that relates to your comfort zone, and then think about the outside of that circle, this is where the magic happens. I heard this quote from a physical therapist a couple years ago, and these words of wisdom have resonated with me ever since. I used that quote as a key to unlock my future on which PT school I should attend. I was faced with a decision to attend a school close to home in Kansas or find the courage and strength to move to Connecticut where I didn't know or have anyone to support me. I knew these opportunities would lead me down different paths. This decision has impacted me and helped me to become the best version of myself as a PT student. I currently serve as Secretary at Sacred Heart University, the VP of the CT Student Special Interest Group, and am a member of the Membership Project Committee. I was consistently pushed outside my comfort zone to pursue leadership opportunities and attend conferences, National Advocacy Dinners, and the Federal Advocacy Forum. I am running for SPT Delegate to inspire students to find their passion within this profession. Most importantly, I have found the value of being an advocate for patients and the PT profession. I want to challenge all students to take a step outside their comfort zone to educate people on physical therapy, continue to stay active in the APTA, and bring a positive change to the profession in order to enhance their experience.
