This class held many different topics and lessons that I will take with me into my professional career. Something I'll take with me is the notion that everyone has their own experiences. Everyone's experience is different in many ways and it will affect their pain, burn out, and stress.

There were many thinks I have taken away from this class. I think the guest lecturers and Erin were phenomenal, their ability to show their vulnerability and personal experiences encouraged the class to be vulnerable. The biggest topics I have taken away from this class was learning about the different stages of grief. This will certainly help me be a better provider, family member, and friend to those who have lost loved ones.

I am excited to apply the principles of motivational interviewing in my practice to foster a collaborative environment with each patient, ensuring that their care remains centered around their individual needs. Additionally, the invaluable lessons shared by all three guest speakers have equipped me with the knowledge and tools necessary to deliver high-quality care to every individual I encounter. I am grateful to Erin for facilitating a remarkable semester that has undoubtedly enriched my understanding and prepared me for the journey ahead.

I really loved the warm and judgment free zone that we created in the class. I thought the class on caregiver burnout was very warming and really moved me. Thank you for a great semester !

One thing I found really meaningful in class was having the guest lecturers share their stories on their personal experiences with these issues. This definitely helped me to gain a new perspective and motivated me to become a better provider.

# data[].attributes.body
I appreciated the safe space that was created in our classroom. I believe that we learned and discussed will be able to treat our patients so much better and be a difference in us going from good clinicians to great ones. My main takeaway was to always just be there to listen to our patients and that will allow us to support them in all the ways they need.

Its difficult to take away one thing from this class but if I could I would like to say thank you for providing an open and judgment free zone to express ourselves. I enjoyed the various different perspectives, whether that be from Erin, Jen, or the 2 guest speakers we got to enjoy. Thank you so much!

# data[].attributes.body
I appreciated all of the guest lectures and the addition of the LGBTQ+ to the curriculum. It added an extra perspective that providers should have to ensure all patients receive optimal care and support.

I really enjoyed having the guest speakers come and and provide their expertise on different parts of the field.

The biggest concept I will take away from this class is the idea of self compassion. I think we spend so much time and energy looking out for our patients and others that we often forget to take care of ourselves. I used to feel so drained at the end of a long day at clinical so I thought the lessons on self care were super important. It's important that we're our best selves to give our patients the best care. Thanks for everything Erin!

# data[].attributes.body
Something I will take away from this class is when treating a patient, not treating them solely by the diagnosis but as the whole person they are. I will try to be part of the change in healthcare that teaches everyone that we are compassionate providers who truly care about the well-being of our patients, no matter who they are or where they come from.

# data[].attributes.body
This course has expanded my knowledge on a variety of topics. You made the class a welcoming and enjoyable environment to spend our summer days in. Thank you for always taking the time to check in and make sure we were in a good head space. Your dedication and passion as a faculty does not go unnoticed. Thank you for everything!

# data[].attributes.body
One thing I will take away from this class is the need to create an open and inclusive space for everyone. Patients are coming in vulnerable, some scared of this encounter due to previous encounters with healthcare, so it is crucia for us to provide them with a space where they feel safe and valued.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the biggest concept I will take from this class is to never make assumptions. You never know what people are going through, so it’s important to give them the space for them to be open with you. I will also always show compassion to each person and patient in my life. Everyone is different and the world would be a much better place if we are able to be kind to others.

# data[].attributes.body
Thank you Erin for providing a space for us to not only share our thoughts but our experiences as well! I will definitely be taking with me the importance of seeing each of my patients as the individuals they are and how their background can shape how they may present to us each and every day. Remember: Ogres are like onions!

# data[].attributes.body
I appreciated all the guest speakers we had. It allowed us to listen to new viewpoints and gain deeper knowledge of the topics. Overall, I am glad this class is a part of the curriculum and I feel like I can be a better provider because of it.

# data[].attributes.body
The overall atmosphere of the class to be able to share without judgement really helps in this class. Being able to get more knowledge on the aspects of stress and anxiety as these continue to evolve with more research. Keeping an open mind when talking with our patients as there could be a lot going on behind the scenes

# data[].attributes.headline
I will take with all important discussions.  Reminder to go in with no bias and avoid quick judgements when possible.

I will take many things away from this class, as we covered many different topics that are important for patient care. One of the most important is that we as PTs can play an important role in our patients lives even outside of just prescribing exercises and helping them through their rehabilitation journey.

# data[].attributes.body
I have learned the importance of motivational interviewing. I will take with me all of the important discussions we've had and the importance of showing compassion in each and every aspect of my life especially with my future patients to allow for a healthy therapeutic environment. Thank you Erin!

# data[].attributes.body
One thing that I’ll take away from this class is to always consider the patients values and personal identity when treating them. This will help to provide person centered care and to treat the patient as an individual.

# data[].attributes.body
I will take away more things than I can exactly put into words. I will definitely be a more socially aware provider now. I will always try to be aware of the deeper things that may be happening in someone’s life but I will also treat everyone I come across as just a person and give them the best care possible.

I loved the unit about provider burnout and strategies to maintain a healthy work/life balance.

# data[].attributes.body
I really loved yesterdays presentation on neighborhood health! I felt super inspired to enact change. I think that was a great way to capture how treating people as people is the most important.

# data[].attributes.body
I really appreciate the safe and welcoming environment that you provided for the class. I think I speak for everyone when I say that we all felt comfortable talking about difficult topics with you in the classroom environment.

# data[].attributes.body
Jen was very impactful as me as well as Meredith. Particularly when Jen highlighted how many people in our class suffer from mental health issues themselves.

# data[].attributes.body
I learned new ways of treating others the way I would like to be treated.

# data[].attributes.body
There are many things that I will take away from this class, and I appreciated every guest speaker we had as well! One thing that I found that I will take away from this class includes creating a judgement free zone in any clinic I work in. I also think that never making assumptions about a client is important to remind myself on, in addition to doing my own research on things I may not know.

# data[].attributes.body
I really appreciated that we were able to discuss topics that are sometimes more challenging to talk about. Bringing to light these topics felt super beneficial to addressing treating all patients equally. I felt that you created a really safe space and that made discussing these topics more helpful.

# data[].attributes.body
One thing I will take with me from this class is that we as PTs need to rethink about what we're practicing and how to focus on the whole person. Being open and honest with patients and feeling like they can be honest with us. Thank you for an amazing semester Erin!

# data[].attributes.body
So many things we talked about in class are so valuable to me as an aspiring clinician. I think we often get caught up in the clinical side of things, but I think we often forget how valuable being a person is and recognizing the humanity in others. Looking at the whole person, recognizing their struggles, and being there for them in the ways that they need is something I will try my best to implement in future practice.

# data[].attributes.body
I really appreciated the safe and educational environment you provided for this course! There is too much value to pick from to highlight what I will take with me. The connections made between lectures really helped create a full picture of holistic care that I want to bring into my future practice. The overall take away I got was to really take the time to build a genuine, trusting relationship with my patients so I can learn more about them to create the best care possible. By allowing safe, non-judging spaces with the tips you gave us I can hope to implement all we learned in this class to benefit my patients beyond their diagnosis. Thank you so much Erin for an amazing semester and a really beneficial course for us to be the best PTs we can be!

It is hard to pick just one meaningful thing to take away from this class, as I felt so many topics are so integral to our development as competent and compassionate clinicians. The main overarching theme that I have taken away from this class is that at the end of the line there is a human being with a unique lived experience that needs our help, and it is our duty as providers to take the extra step to get to know our patients and everything that contributes to their condition. This class emphasized the human aspect of healthcare was so refreshing in what can sometimes be a rigorous and demanding profession. Thank you Erin for a great semester! :)

# data[].attributes.body
This class had a very wide range of topics that I wish we honestly got more of through the curriculum. Given the short nature of the summer semesters, this class was extremely well structured to give us the absolute most information possible in a very meaningful way, and I appreciate the care and thought that went into planning this curriculum with intention and purpose. I really enjoyed listening to all of our guest speakers, and all of what they each had to say was critical for us to experience to be better clinicians and people. Thank you, Erin! I will take forward a new knowledge of epigenetics that can be applied to my future patients!

# data[].attributes.body
Something I found meaningful in this class was creating an open, non-judging environment for discussion. All of the guest lecturers we had this semester were all amazing people and clinicians. It was extremely impactful to hear their stories and experiences.

# data[].attributes.body
I have learned that as a PT, we won’t know exactly everything that every one of our patients have been through, but we have to be aware of that. Everyone’s life experiences shape them into the person they are and how they act in situations. As a provider, we need to recognize that so we can adapt our treatment delivery to match their needs. We need to treat each patient with empathy, respect, and be a great listener in order to deliver patient centered care. It really does make a difference to the patient and I hope when I am practicing I can deliver that level of care to all my patients. This course was so rewarding! Thank you Erin for such a great experience!

# data[].attributes.body
I learned that there is so much change to be made in our patients' lives by stepping outside the standard interventions we think of for physical therapy. I feel that I am more prepared to attempt to have difficult and diverse conversations with people going forward. I feel that learning about motivational interviewing reframed the way I will approach conversations about change with my future patients.

# data[].attributes.body
Something I really appreciated in this class was the openness from everyone and willing to share thoughts without any judgement. I also really found it valuable to have guest lectures.

# data[].attributes.body
I learned so much by taking this class. You created and environment where everyone felt comfortable enough to share their experiences and that was very special. Also, each guest lecturer brought something different, interesting, and valuable to our class. Thank you for all of your hard work!

# data[].attributes.body
I have learned a lot of valuable lessons throughout this course. I think one of the most important things I learned is that you really have no idea what anyone is going through in their personal lives, and treating patients with kindness and compassion is the least that we can do as healthcare providers to ensure that our patients have a positive experience. The guest lecturers that we had the opportunity to listen to were incredibly impactful and  shined a new light on a variety of topics for me personally. Thank you for all that you did for us this semester, Erin! This class was very powerful for many of us!

# data[].attributes.body
I took away many key lessons from this class. First being to treat everyone as human beings, meeting them where they are at and demonstrating compassion towards them. I also appreciated learning how impactful our therapeutic relationship and techniques outside of traditional PT can be for our patients.

# data[].attributes.body
The course has emphasized the need to treat everyone with kindness. You never know what someone else is experiencing so it is important to approach everyone with kindness and non-judgement. Thank you Erin for a great semester!

# data[].attributes.body
I will use the skills of motivational interviewing to work in a collaborative way each patient; to provide patient centered care. I will also take with me the valuable lessons taught by all 3 guest speakers to provide high quality care to all people! Thanks Erin for a great semester:)

By just treating others as human beings, we can help change the environment/narrative of healthcare for minority groups.
