Exploring Sense of Belonging among Latino/a/x Doctor of Physical Therapy Students, a Phenomenological Study
Description: I am a second year Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) student at Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine and Science. I am part of a research group that is conducting a study exploring the sense of belonging among Latino/a/x DPT students.

There will be one main interview, lasting approximately 1 hour. Participants may be contacted after the interview for additional information via email or Zoom.

Telerehabilitation Disparities for Patients with Limited English Proficiency
The purpose of the study is to examine clinical workflow efficiency when providing outpatient telehealth/telerehabilitation services for patients/clients with Limited English Proficiency.
Currently we are looking for physical therapists to participate in the study. If you choose to be part of this study, you will be asked to:

During this interview you will also be asked to complete a Job Tasks Checklist where you report common tasks that you complete during telehealth/telerehabilitation appointments
· Complete a second videocall interview 1-3 months after the first interview with a research assistant ~ 30-45 mins
During this interview you will also be asked to review a workflow diagram depicting the sequence of tasks completed during a telehealth/telerehabilitation appointment. You can decide whether you would like to participate in one or both interviews. Both interviews will be recorded. You will be asked to keep your camera off and microphone on during the videocall. While both audio and video will be captured, we will only retain audio recordings and delete video recordings.
