Ep. 112 - Rising to the challenge: leading OncoPT in a tiny island nation - Ameera Al Derazi

<p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p>What can a beautiful tiny island nation teach us about OncoPT? A lot. Most importantly how to ensure patients get the care they desperately need when there aren't many OncoPTs around.</p> <p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p>Here in the US, we tend to focus on the big urban cancer centers & how to make them better. But we can't forget about our colleagues & patients in rural areas or even those in health care deserts, without access to multidisciplinary centers.</p> <p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p>Ameera Al Derazi is a physiotherapist in Bahrain (check out the map below) who is leading the OncoPT charge & crushing it. She shares how she got started, how she's helping patients now as one of the few OncoPTs in Bahrain, & how she's keeping her waiting list short so she can help more patients in a timely manner.</p> <p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p>For those of us newer to OncoPT sometimes feeling all alone in this big world, this is an amazing interview you'll love!</p> <p><!-- /wp:paragraph --></p>
