Immediately following graduation from Springfield College in the DPT Class of 2016, I decided to bite the bullet and establish this blog that I have been passionate about starting since I began PT school. In this blog, I want my reader's to discover the true meaning of "the little things" and to take away at least one thing from each post that they can transfer into their practice. As a new grad, I am still learning on a daily basis - from experience, from my colleagues, my classmates, and through other web-based resources - and I wish to share all of my newly acquired knowledge with you as my reader. I am currently working at a hospital-based outpatient clinic in Hartford, CT treating a diverse patient population with both neurological and orthopedic diagnoses. I have clinical experience at another hospital-based outpatient clinic in Western MA, a fast-paced outpatient orthopedic/sports medicine clinic in AL, as well as in sub-acute rehabilitation in southwest CT. I enjoy learning new things that make my practice, my education, and my patients better - and that is my goal to express to you as readers. Thank you for taking the time to read my blog, please share with friends and colleagues!
About Me Brian Greer
I’ve always been reminded about the significance of the little things, my whole life. From the value of a firm handshake and eye contact, to the ripple effect that a sacrifice bunt can have on the morale of a dugout, the little things have and always will be significant to me. Springfield College was an uncontested environment for training me to be able to carry my passions into my career, in and out of the classroom. Their humanics philosophy, which calls for “educating the whole person through spirit, mind, and body for leadership in service to others” is a great philosophy for a physical therapist to be guided by. I'd love for the people reading these posts to find the little things in every day that make both themselves and their community better. I work in a McKenzie certified outpatient clinic in Southington, CT. I grew a strong connection with the Mckenzie method of Mechanical Diagnosis and Therapy during my rotations, and I am actively pursuing a career with that system. I’ve taken opportunities to do some global health PT in Haiti, and I am eager to see what my future holds in community based service leadership.
