My Job
3 - Health
Building a caseload

Because people have direct access to physiotherapy care, a doctor's referral isn't required to come into the clinic. There are still doctors who refer patients to me, typically patients coming in under Manitoba Public Insurance or Worker's Compensation Board claims.

Some patients that call the clinic are placed into my schedule because the particular time slots that are available suit their schedule best. The rest of my caseload comes from me getting my name out there and networking.

There are different ways you can get out into the community to help make people more aware of physiotherapy, health and fitness. One way I do that is through volunteering.
