A post in the DPT Group

Looking for a black PT for a pt.

Mostly white clinicians in the group scream “omg what if someone asked for a white PT. this is such a double standard”

More than 70% of clinicians are white in PT. Literally you can’t walk into a clinic a not find one
Huge racial disparity in health care and Massive data points towards better care for POC pt with POC PTs

Alongside the fact of health care discrimination literally everywhere. Simply asking and preferring a black PT (3% of entire profession ) as a black pt is normal & justified
“It’s basically criminal to be a straight white man “.

These are your therapist people. Why would you want someone treating you who ignores racial Health disparities and your right at pt..
Well guys We still unfortunately have a long treacherous way to go. I don’t see the masses not ignoring what’s right in front of them but hopefully better days are ahead.

Godspeed
