526. Empowering Patients and Disrupting Healthcare: Dr. Rebeca Segraves on the Power of Communication and Advocacy

In this episode of the Healthcare Education Transformation Podcast, Dr. F. Scott Feil sits down with Dr. Rebeca Segraves to discuss her journey from struggling PT student to an advocate for patient empowerment and healthcare transformation. Dr. Segraves shares her personal story of how her mother’s stroke shaped her career, and how she is now focused on disrupting healthcare by promoting better communication and early rehabilitation for patients post-surgery. The conversation touches on the importance of educating patients to take control of their health, leveraging networks for professional growth, and using public speaking as a platform for healthcare education. Tune in for actionable insights on how clinicians can adapt, empower patients, and disrupt outdated systems to improve care.Find out more about Dr. Segraves at:https://enhancedrecoverywellness.com/founder/https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-rebeca-segraves2030/https://www.instagram.com/rebecasegraves_/If you are taking the NPTE or are teaching those about to take the NPTE, visit the NPTE Final Frontier at www.NPTEFF.com and use code "HET" for 10% off all purchases at the website...and BREAKING NEWS!!!!
