Challenges in my discipline

Hello everyone. This time we come back to talk about my careerPhysical Therapy is the second highest valued and paid after medicine, nevertheless the breach wich separe them is to big.
Let see what are the dificulties it has to cross, I mean what are the problems.
First of all in social matters, Physical Therapy is seen like the discipline chosen because they do not reach for medicine and people has no a good culture about it. Very few people know what a physical therapist really does and also as it is not first consult, nobody can go if the doctor does not ask it. Our consult is so much cheaper than going to a doctor, so if we were first consult, people would save a lot of money because, you know we can start to heal without invade your body.We have to spread this, a strong pain can be resolved just with a move. And how do we do it? Making Physical therapy like a first consult.
Directly relationed with social matters is the economic resources and with this is the technology, but this is not just a problem of this discipline, all the health disciplines have this typical issue: Private sectors has more and better resources, more technology, more machine that is so important here, because it does the work faster and people obviously is going to prefer these ones, so if we do not equilibrate this situation now, we will never can to reach medicine or give to everybody the best service posible.
In the education area, I think we are ok. We have almost the same education and subjects that the rest of the disciplines . The problems that I see are that in many institutes you can take this career and obviously it is not the same, because this places do not make you a professional, they do not know everything that they have to know and nevertheless this people has the grade of physical therapist and by another hand the specialties are obtained just for little courses and not necesarialy like an extension of the university career like in medicine.
Despite of all of this, physical therapy is growing and growing everyday so we can be sure that it will have a better place soon.
