Comparisons of Clinical Competency and Job Responsibilities of Physical Therapists With and Without Postprofessional Training
CONCLUSION: Results from this paper demonstrate that residency- and fellowship-trained PTs have elements of higher self-perceived clinical competency and spend more of their job duties outside of direct patient care compared with PTs who were not residency or fellowship trained. These results may help guide PTs, academic institutions, and employers in planning and achieving specific career paths.PMID:38478789 | DOI:10.1097/JTE.0000000000000295 (Source: Physical Therapy)

Adolescents with strong life purpose report greater career maturity
In this study, we examined the role of sense of life purpose (awakening to purpose, awareness of purpose, and altruistic purpose) in career maturity (concern, curiosity, confidence, and consultation) among adolescents (N = 234).

An application of psychology of working theory to chronic health issues: Importance of decent work
AbstractThis paper presents psychology of working theory (PWT) as a framework for addressing career concerns faced by those with chronic health issues.

Specifically, individuals with chronic health conditions may face additional barriers to their career development and are at risk for higher incidences of workplace discrimination, job stress, and job loss. Core elements of PWT outlined in this paper are applied to a case study of a client with breast cancer. More specifically, the constructs of decent work,...
