If you’ve been following along for a while, you likely know that I believe that the Biopsychosocial Model of healthcare is a key element in delivering the ultimate patient experience. I recently had the opportunity to sit down with Mandy Chamberlain for the Seniors Flourish Podcast to discuss the biopsychosocial model and how Occupational Therapists can begin to implement it into daily practice. Check out the episode here.
We talked a little bit about my OT journey and then dove right into the biopsychosocial model and how it has impacted my career and the way I managed care in the clinics I worked in. I even told my “Shoulder is a Shoulder” story. Check out the episode here!

I also put together a resource page for listeners of the show. It’s full of free resources and downloads about the biopsychosocial model and some tools to help integrate it into care. It’s even got a link to our new Biopsychosocial CEU Course.
