Why BeingThePT exists
DPT school gives you the science. The reasoning that turns it into a confident clinical decision, the equipment calls, the family conversations, the documentation, mostly comes together on rotation, often faster than anyone has time to walk you through.
BeingThePT closes that gap. Each playbook is the colleague-in-your-pocket version of that walk-through: one practical reasoning toolkit per specialty, written by a clinician who has worked the settings you are about to. The Pediatric PT Playbook is the first. The Neuro PT Playbook is in development.
