As a future physical therapist, the professional roles and responsibilities center on the patient’s wellbeing with the goal to achieve the highest form of function and improvement of quality of life. But before the treatment proper, a good subjective and objective assessment is important as well. In assessing a patient, we must extract as much information as we can to have a complete and accurate assessment since these will be used in the treatment phase. Educating the patient is also an important responsibility of a PT to achieve good compliance from the patient and for their own benefit in understanding their condition. More than this, we physical therapists also serve as emotional support for our patients as we journey with them through the struggles their conditions bring about.

It is understanding of what one needs to do as well as what is expected of them. Furthermore, the understanding of roles is not just limited to the individual's role but the roles of other members as well. This is important as it contributes to the productivity of the group as a whole and without it, miscommunication, confusion, and additional stress can occur within the group.

As a Physical Therapist the professional roles that we can contribute to the rehab team is to provide homeostasis of the patient physically, preserve and improve the quality of life. As physical therapists in the future we provide interventions not only for patients who has aches and pains but also, we provide treatment to clients who wants to increase physical strength and improve movement in their daily activities. Physical therapy can cover a lot of age groups, from pediatric until geriatrics, musculoskeletal, cardiopulmonary, neuroscience, community health, sports and many more. We diagnose and we create treatment plans to attain the goals of the patient. While the nonprofessional responsibilities of a physical therapy is to be a good listener, to empathize, to create hope for recovery, and to care for the patient. For me these are essential roles of a physical therapist for their patient no matter what the case is. To listen to their stories is already a way of empathizing and caring already, and for me the most fulfilling role as a physical therapist is to see the progress of your patient in each therapy sessions. To see them grow and become stronger in each session is the best feeling that we are part of the progress of them to reaching their goals again.

Role clarity is needed so that treatment of the patient will be clear and there is no redundancy of treatment. In a rehabilitation team there are a ton of health professionals involved. Based on the lecture of our speakers then is that “it takes a village to raise a child” and “it takes a community to build a community” likewise in a rehabilitation team each one has their specialty and plan in treating a patient. Thus, knowing the role of each member of the rehabilitation team can be of the welfare of the patient and the professionals in the team because they would know who can handle the type or problem of the patient with their high level of expertise. Also, each professional can share their expertise with the whole team the goal of continuous learning with the team is still evident. With the activity that was done by the group role clarity was evident to achieve progress and success and with this application to our future rehabilitation team we must be clear on each role so that we can attain success and with the best output contributed by each professional that they specialize.
