The Healthcare Education Transformation Podcast

Briana Partee isn't just building a PT curriculum—she's creating safer, more human-centered spaces in both academic and clinical settings. In this conversation, we talk about how Briana's journey from treating complex trauma in underserved urban communities to teaching in the med school classroom shaped her core philosophy: relationships matter more than rules. She shares how she builds trust with her students, makes professional networking feel natural, and balances bold leadership with empathy. We also dive into how strategic relationship building helped her land jobs through casual hallway conversations and why listening and curiosity are the most underrated skills in healthcare education. This one is full of real talk, emotional intelligence, and the exact steps students and educators can take to build meaningful professional networks.

In this  episode of the Healthcare Education Transformation Podcast, Dr. F. Scott Feil speaks with clinician, educator, and thought leader Dr. Mark Kargela about the limitations of traditional tissue-based physical therapy models and the rise of pain science-informed care. From his own educational journey and disillusionment with manual therapy to embracing ambiguity and patient-centered narratives, Dr. Kargela shares insights on how clinicians can better address the complex 10–20% of patients who don't respond to conventional care. The conversation dives into how physical therapists can use psychologically informed strategies, adopt wellness-based business models, and even leverage epigenetics and culturally aware care to improve long-term outcomes. If you're a PT, educator, or student, this episode is a masterclass in clinical growth, communication, and the future of healthcare delivery.

What happens when an autistic professor, life coach, and content creator sets out to reframe how we view learning? Dr. Sol Smith joins me to unpack the systems that fail neurodivergent learners—and how we can change them. We dive into his new book, The Autistic's Guide to Self-Discovery, explore the stigma around accommodations, and challenge the ways schools misunderstand intrinsic motivation. Sol breaks down why traditional education rewards masking, how burnout shows up in students, and how educators can create spaces where all learners feel seen. We also talk about his coaching philosophy, the Neurospicy Community he founded, and how embracing neurodivergent thinking can revolutionize classrooms, careers, and communication. If you're ready to challenge the norms and create a more inclusive world—this episode is your invitation.Learn more about our guest at:

Dr. Erson Religioso—aka Dr. E—has been in the PT game for over two decades, and he's experienced just about every high and low the profession can offer. In this candid conversation, we dive into his transformation from a manual therapy "guru in the making" to a humble coach focused on empowering patients. Erson shares his journey through academic elitism, ego-driven learning, and eventual cognitive dissonance that led him to radically rethink how he practices, teaches, and communicates with patients. We talk about the origin of his eclectic approach, the power of simplification over complexity, and how clinicians can thrive by embracing mentorship, reflection, and evidence-based evolution. We also dig into his business ventures—from creating the EDGE Mobility System to building a thriving online education platform—and how social media changed the game for him (and what changed when it all came crashing down). Whether you're a new grad, a seasoned clinician, or somewhere in between, this one's packed with lessons you don't want to miss.Learn more about our guest at:

We explore how PTs are uniquely positioned to lead in wellness spaces, the importance of addressing social determinants of health, and how behavioral change and cultural competence are at the heart of long-term health outcomes. Whether you're a clinician, educator, or advocate for public health, this conversation is packed with strategies and inspiration to help you make a bigger impact—both in and beyond the clinic.Learn more about our guest at:
