Building Equality & Access for Marginalized Communities in Physical Therapy

Everyone deserves access to supportive, effective, and affordable healthcare. Unfortunately, this healthcare is often not available to marginalized communities in the United States of America. And Integrative & Lifestyle Medicine is all but ignored in these communities. I recently sat down and interviewed two of the inspiring contributors to the physical therapy profession AND our recent publication of the book Integrative and Lifestyle Medicine in Physical Therapy, Dr. Karla Bell and Dr. Melissa Hoffman. Here’s what you’ll learn by watching or listening: ✅ Why we need more research to understand the specific needs of marginalized communities ✅ Why the time is NOW to take an active role in making healthcare a safe space for EVERYONE ✅ How to find your role in building equality in healthcare for marginalized communities This is a great conversation of leaders in the field of Integrative and Lifestyle Medicine. We hope you enjoy! Dr. Melissa Hoffman PT, MSPT, PhD: Throughout her career as an educator and practitioner, Dr. Hofmann has strived to embody elements specific to a Jesuit education (leadership, value-centered education, service, social justice, and research and scholarship) into her practice. In using such elements as a guide, she has been able to model a positive impact on students that inspires them to become conscientious clinicians as well as preparing them to live in a mature and responsible manner. In addition, by integrating questions of meaning, ethics, and values into her teaching and work, Dr. Hofmann has been able to implement more appropriate and challenging learning experiences to promote further social and cultural growth of students and patients alike. Through multiple service opportunities, she has extended her knowledge and skills to underserved communities of the world and have come to understand the importance of social justice and sustainability. Finally, by furthering her education in the area of research and statistics, she is able to postulate and investigate a multitude of research questions. As a research educator Dr. Hoffman is able to provide opportunities for faculty, staff, and students to advance their knowledge base in research; thus allowing for further dissemination of pertinent research outcomes across the Physical Therapy profession and abroad. Dr. Karla A. Bell PT, DPT, PhD(c) (she/they) is an Associate Professor of Physical Therapy in the Jefferson College of Rehabilitation Sciences in Philadelphia. Karla also has a secondary appointment in the Jefferson College of Nursing for education and training in diversity, equity, inclusion and sexual and gender diverse (SGD) content. In Karla’s 25-year career, their clinical career has included various settings from acute rehab to outpatient settings and they had dual board-certifications in orthopedics and geriatrics, and their academic career spans 18 years. Karla is also a candidate for a PhD in Population Health Sciences with a focus on behavior change; her dissertation work is on healthcare provider behavior change in mitigating healthcare disparities for SGD populations.
