How Games Make Better Clinicians

Hollis Bixby joins the show to talk about one of the most exciting shifts happening in PT education: gamification. After seven years helping athletes and performers perform at their best, Hollis is stepping into a new role as Assistant Professor at Campbell University — all while finishing her manual therapy fellowship at Regis University and serving as faculty in Duke’s Ortho Hybrid Residency. Her big idea? That PT education should be more engaging, more motivating, and more game-like. In this conversation, Hollis breaks down how she and the Duke residency team are integrating game elements into their curriculum — and why this approach leads to deeper learning, better retention, higher engagement, and more fun. In this episode, we cover: 🔹 The power of gamification for DPT, residency, and fellowship teaching 🔹 Why rules, points, missions, and competition unlock REAL learning 🔹 How to build learner motivation — intrinsic and extrinsic 🔹 What Hollis learned from years as a sports PT that informs her teaching 🔹 How hybrid residency design encourages innovation 🔹 Why manual therapy skills benefit from “safe-to-fail” game structures 🔹 The transition from clinician to DCE/faculty 🔹 What she’s bringing to AAOMPT: games, challenges, and creative learning experiences If you’re an educator, mentor, resident, or clinician who cares about making learning effective and fun, this episode is a must-watch.
