Larry, Great job as usual. I always look forward to your thoughts. Here are few items i wrote down that did not make your list that I see in my area, neither good or bad....just observations. 1. Outpatient clinics are now all sports clinic with very few of the clinicians with a sports background. 2. Certifications outside of APTA board specialties (Too many to name) and the litany of letters behind one's name these days. 3. A decrease in athletic trainers going PT school (this may be a local issue) 4. New graduates not staying in outpatient care 5. A movement away from manual therapy to exercise
