Virtual Hand to Shoulder Fellowship, LLC was privileged to have Dr. Adam Strohl present, Soft Tissue Reconstruction for the Upper Extremity this weekend. As clinicians specializing in upper limb and hand therapy, we need to also have an understanding of medical and surgical management so we can support and protect the healing process while safely restoring mobility and function. You cannot provide optimal care in upper limb and hand therapy without an advanced-level of knowledge in this highly specialized area of practice. You also can’t rely solely on protocols. Protocols are guidelines that can never capture the big picture. They should be adjusted in collaboration with the surgeon based on specific patient nuances and their evolving clinical presentation. This is what we focus on developing in the virtual hand therapy fellowship through our curriculum, amazing guest presenters like Dr. Strohl, and most importantly, mentorship. As our fellows learn the fundamentals and then begin to develop and understand the power of critical thinking, it completely changes their perspective in what they do. It opens up a whole different world of realizing the impact they can have on their patient’s recovery. This is what drives VHSF. #handtherapy #handtherapists #chtexam #occupationaltherapists #physicaltherapists #certifiedhandtherapists #handsurgeons #physiotherapists #clinicalexcellence #virtualhandfellowship

NBEO Board exams may sound daunting, but if you prepare well in advance, then success is within reach!   My first tip for optometry students preparing for national boards part 1 or part 2 is - practice, practice, practice! Once you have thoroughly studied the material, I recommend doing as many practice questions and tests as possible. These sample questions and tests are great tools because they help you pinpoint your strengths and weaknesses. Once you know what areas might require a bit more practice, you can revisit the material and learn any key topics you may have missed.   When you are taking the timed practice tests, my next tip is to eliminate any distractions and create an environment similar to the actual boards. This will help you get comfortable with the exam process so that you are well prepared for the experience on exam day.   Most importantly, be sure to take advantage of all resources available to you as you prepare. When I was preparing for boards, I found that in addition to textbooks and class notes, utilizing different study programs such as KMK, OptoPrep, and ODQuestions provided me with additional practice to help me be successful. Whether it’s a study program or a study group with fellow students, using different tools to help supplement your board exam prep is just another investment into your future as an OD!    As you prepare for board exams later this summer, remember how hard you have worked to get to this point. I wish you luck in your preparation and exams and look forward to welcoming the next generation of optometrists!

To all the brilliant minds receiving their results today, a massive round of applause for your hard work! 🥳 For those embarking on a new adventure at university this September, I’m cheering you on! Reflecting on my own results day (18 years ago!), I remember the sting of realising that my dental school aspirations were on hold. I felt lost, bouncing from job to job—call centers, video game sales, customer service—none felt right. But then, the Bristol Eye Hospital saw potential in me, and I became a junior ophthalmic science practitioner—a title that helped instill passion into all things eyes! That was the start of an unexpected journey in eye-care, where I encountered cases that would fascinate even the esteemed Jack Kanski! My A-Level grades faded into the background as I built a career on experience and passion. Eventually, I hit a ceiling and craved more, leading me to study optometry. With Christine Purslow’s keen eye, Cardiff University welcomed me as an undergraduate optometry student, ironically, a course requiring the same A-Level grades I needed for dental school! Remember, A-Levels are a stepping stone, not the sole gatekeeper of your future. If today didn’t bring the grades you hoped for, don’t lose heart. Your drive and determination are what will propel you forward. Your journey isn’t shaped by today’s results but by the choices you make from here on out. And a little twist of fate? Marrying a dentist showed me that sometimes, life has a better plan. My exam results didn’t just redirect me; they saved me from a path not meant for me, leading me to a career that brings me joy every day. 😄 Here’s to finding your path, no matter where today’s results may lead you! For those needing some extra encouragement or wanting to use their exam setbacks as growth, I include an article from earlier this year. It is aimed for optometry students, but some of the messages can apply to us all. Let me know what you think! https://lnkd.in/e5jpwnsd

How to Apply for Surgical Tech Scholarships: Ultimate Guide

In this video, I share my personal experience of getting into dental school when it required passing two exams: Part One and Part Two. Now, the process has changed, and aspiring dental students only need to take one exam, the Integrated INBDE. I hope my journey helps you understand the evolution of the dental school admission process and what to expect. #IMG #IMGSecrets #MedicalCareer #INBDE
