Join host Dr. Larry Benz, nationally recognized for his expertise in private practice physical therapy and occupational medicine alongside NEW co-hosts Tim Reynolds and Bryan Guzski. From Evidence In Motion, The Practice Leadership Podcast’s Movers and Shakers Season will go straight to the source, asking the industry heavyweights about research, social media, what technology challenges lie ahead, their seasoned advice form the clinic floor, and where to take action in advocacy.   On the fourth episode of this season Larry Benz, Tim Reynolds and Bryan Guzski are joined by Sharon Dunn, PT, PhD, Board-Certified Orthopaedic Clinical Specialist who was the American Physical Therapist Association President for two terms from June 2015 through December 2021.
