October 8, 2025 @ 10:00 am - 11:00 am MDT
Moderated by Clayton Powers, DPT with panelists:

Join us for the first Coffee with a Clinician as we dive into Chapter 1 of the Clinical Care Guide.
Topics to be addressed:
- Challenges patients and clinicians face and what that means for improving patient care.
- Building a strong, team-based relationship that respects patients’ expertise and optimizes providers’ guidance.
- How patients and clinicians can structure appointments, use a “trial and pivot” approach, set realistic goals, and offer tips for patients to communicate priorities effectively.
