Act 1, Scene 1
(As there is more to come on this thought…)
I’d love to turn this monologue into a dialogue though. If you were in some healthcare-based schooling (NP, PA, MD, PT, OT, etc), despite the BS on what is considered professional or not, how much time did you guys spend on pelvic health education?
Not all professions and not all schools are made the same. So I am aware of the significant individual variances here. Personally when I was in my doctoral training, we received a cursory gloss-over of the pelvis with the cadaver. And an optional elective on pelvic health and pelvic floor dysfunction. Even though physical therapists are one of the most involved professions in caring for pelvic floor dysfunction right now… this seems weird right?
Advocating for more education on an administrative level could really help. But since that’s much harder to do (bureaucracy and all…) I’m turning to the people affected, the patients, to advocate for themselves!
More to come on this though but I’d love to hear yours ❤️
