In this guided reflection, Ben and Michael use the Crisis-Response framework to guide a conversation around how we’ve not only responded to the Covid-19 pandemic but how we might think about moving forward beyond it. They reflect on the need to ask which of the changes that have been introduced into physiotherapy education as a result of emergency remote teaching are useful and deserve consideration as permanent aspects of our training, and which were temporary solutions that can come to an end. This episode forms part of the In Beta Unconference 2020 guided reflection series.

In this episode Ben and I talk about our experiences at WCPT, as well as the massive success of the Unposter and what this means for the future of conferences. This discussion represents another example of how simply having an in-depth conversation about a topic has changed my thinking around it.

Michael and I are going to be at WCPT 2019 in Geneva from Friday 10th to Monday 13th May before the main event of the In Beta Unconference in Lausanne on 14th and 15th May. It would be great to meet as many people who have interacted with In Beta as we can whilst we are at WCPT. So we thought it would be good to let you know what we’re up to while we’re there.

Narrative reasoning is the capability to apprehend and understand patients` “stories”, illness experiences, meaning perspectives, contexts, beliefs and cultures. An ability to recognize, interpret and be moved to action by an individual’s story of illness is a key attribute in person-centred practice. However students and novice professionals often find it difficult to engage in narrative forms of reasoning and collaborative models of practice, focusing instead on biomedical aspects.

In this episode we talked about whether assessments and teacher-student relationship are even necessary (turns out that they are), whether teaching should be fun (as usual, it depends), whether spending less time on social media is necessary (possibly, but maybe it’s just that our self-control is lacking), and what our best teaching moments in 2018 were.
