future challenges

Hi there!!
Today we were assigned a difficult and interesting topic.. how does our program or our profession influences in different aspects of life, not just mine, yours too.

I personally think that a person with professional studies, or just energy, can change or help in a lot of things, if you're interested, obviously. But in my case, I think there're a few things that I could do to improve aspects of my own program or not related to it necessary.

Speaking of education, I think there're thing that must be changed, but as a physical therapist I could help in teaching things related to it, like in this same University, or helping professionals to improve their carreer. Or by my own future day a day work, where I'll be constantly teaching people to improve part of their life by minimal acts, excercises or just advices.

In technology we need help with prosthesis and new and better instrument to develop our work properly. Maybe its necessary to be more related to other countries, countries that had already improve in that area. But its positive to heel that there are programs dedicated to collect money, for example, for this objectives (money to improve machines, money to hire people to help others who need, etc).

Social matters is where, us as physical therapist , do our work basicly, and where the rest of the people live and do their own job too.. so this is where we can improve "easly". We can help people to develop in a positive and better way, with their environmet, with other people, with day a day things.

And it's not everything about teaching, I think (and as everything you do, in general) in this same interaction with your pacients and your environment you also learn, and that's important too, cause you must learn, you must know people's problem, technlogy problems or education problems to improve them, you must know them from the people that are being affected or involved to know how to turn things to a postive path, to solve them. That's the better part in this profession I think, cause you can help, maybe in a liiiittle way, but at the end you can "make things work".
