What should a clinician do when they discover an ethical breach in the clinic?
In this episode, members of the AAOMPT Ethics Committee walk through a realistic clinical scenario involving a physical therapy fellow who discovers a physical therapist assistant performing manipulation techniques outside their scope of practice.
When the fellow raises the concern with the clinical director, the issue is dismissed—creating tension, professional risk, and uncertainty for a student observing the situation.
This conversation explores the ethical principles that guide clinical decision-making and the leadership responsibilities that often come with fellowship training.
The panel discusses how clinicians can navigate difficult ethical situations while protecting patients, maintaining professional integrity, and supporting colleagues.
In This Episode • Ethical responsibilities of physical therapy fellows
• Scope of practice considerations for PTAs
• Patient expectations vs professional standards
• The role of accountability and integrity in clinical practice
• Leadership development through fellowship training
• How students and clinicians can report ethical concerns
• Why ethical issues in healthcare are often underreported

Description

The Hands On Hands Off Podcast from the American Academy of Orthopaedic Manual Physical Therapists explores the debate at the heart of modern rehab:
How much treatment should be hands-on… and how much should empower patients to move independently?
Through conversations with leaders in manual therapy, orthopedic physical therapy, pain science, and rehabilitation, we break down:
• clinical reasoning
• manual therapy techniques
• patient education
• exercise-based care
• evidence vs tradition in PT
If you’re a physical therapist, manual therapist, DPT student, or rehabilitation professional, this show will challenge assumptions and sharpen your practice.
