Clinicians Don't Leave Because of Burnout, They Leave Because They Lose Control
Many clinicians believe burnout is the biggest reason PTs and PTAs leave the profession, but Ben Keeton argues the real issue is something deeper.
In this episode, Ben shares why career longevity depends on mentorship, leadership, self-efficacy, and creating opportunities that give clinicians greater control over their time, income, and purpose.
Katie and Ben also discuss:
- Creating careers that last 30 years
- Why mentorship matters early
- Leadership beyond job titles
- Why PTAs are uniquely positioned to lead
- Clinical expertise versus leadership
- Followership and team culture
- AI in rehabilitation
- Cash-based innovation
- Building organizations people never want to leave
