User:James M Lee

I have a unique educational background, as I obtained a Doctorate in Physical Therapy and a Master of Science in Nursing. I am a residency-trained, board-certified orthopedic clinical specialist (OCS) by the American Board of Physical Therapy Specialties (ABPTS). Additionally, I hold distinction as a clinical nurse leader (CNL) by the AACN, making me equipped to manage care coordination and evaluate patient outcomes in multiple settings. Having received training in both disciplines, I have a diverse skill set, as I am one of only a few who can provide both physical therapy and nursing care. Whether the person has acute or chronic medical conditions, or rehabilitative needs, I am able to holistically care for patients across the lifespan. I am currently a candidate for family medicine as a nurse practitioner.

I currently practice as a registered nurse in the emergency department at Rush Oak Park Hospital. I also practice as an orthopedic physical therapist part-time. I am always looking for opportunities where I can blend and utilize both skill sets.

I am the author of the blog "ThePTNurseGuy" where I discuss topics relevant to physical therapy, nursing, manual therapy, primary care and emergency medicine. Find out more information at www.theptnurseguy.com.
