Motivating and managing the generations

Article Abstract:

Peggy Gleeson, head of the physical therapy department is of the opinion that an effective attitude towards the students from different generations in managing and motivating them can be attained by recognizing the peculiarity of each generation and having managerial flexibility. She is very much intrigued by the variety of students in the physical therapy class as they indicate not only different generations but also have different values, beliefs, work ethics and ideals.

PTs comfort minority health and health disparities

Article Abstract:

It has been found that there are major differences in the way many Americans receive health care all over the country with a definite discrimination against the minority groups. Minority population has been growing at a fast pace but one can see that many among them still do not have access to health insurance or access to high quality health care and these disparities must be addressed immediately.
