Intentions
After studying for four years at Florida A&M University, I plan to pursue my education further and aim to be accepted into a physical therapy graduate program. These programs typically culminate in a doctoral degree and take at least three years to complete. With the knowledge aquired and credentials from the program I plan to increase my knowlegde about physical therapy even further.
I plan to find ways to improve the tecniques and methods of physical therapy. After aquiring experience, I plan to establish my own physical therapy clinic along with a training and research facility. I plan to have a direct positive impact in the world of Physical Therapy.
"Live a Good Life With a Healthy Body"
-Clebert Merilus
I am Clebert Merilus, a young visionary blessed with oppurtunity and resources. I aspire to directly impact the world of Physical Therapy. I am currently enrolled at Florida A&M Univesity where I am studying as a student majoring in Allied Health science. I am also undergoing training and gaining experience through extracurricular activities.
One Year From Now
In about one year, hopefully I will be continuing to further my education on a graduate level. As far my business is concerned, I expect to have my business website fully establish and will be a database in which I will send my future clients to. I also plan to mass produce a good amount of my own business cards that I can hand them out to anyone at anytime. By this time, I will also want to have learned more about the business aspect of the healthcare industry.
One of my Concerns
In physical therapy, one thing that concerns me is the exercise routines that are given to the patients. A physical therapist can work with a patient and have them do exercise routines that will help the patient’s condition and in turn improve their health. The patients are also given exercises to at home and that is where some of the problem occurs. Many patients have different excuses why they could not do their exercises at home such as being too tired, busy, or in pain. etc. I wish there was a way to ensure that my patients would do their exercises a home which would result in their health improving.
Reflections
Over the course of this semester, I have had many learning experiences. These experiences were able to help me with other areas in my life. Some of these key elements were Networking, Influencer Analysis and the Multi-Probing Level Questions. From the Networking, I was able create a network of contacts and gain some connections. Even now I am in still in contact with some of the people that I have met. Doing research for the Influencer assignment helped me to learn more about the leading figures in the Physical Therapy Industry. I’ve also learned more about the business aspect of Physical Therapy. The MLPQs and the interview that I had with my physical therapist was a great experience. I was able to get answers to many questions that I had about Physical Therapists in the clinic setting. In the process of this, I also learned more about myself. I’ve learned that if I want be great, then I have to move out of my comfort zone. I now have a clearer view about what it is that I want to accomplish in my profession and future. My advice for anyone is that all it takes is a dream and determination. My intentions have remained the same and now my experience has made me more determined.
