People often mistake the number of classes taught with lack of work. When I tell them I am teaching two courses most assume that I am teaching for possibly a couple of hours every other day and sitting around the rest of time. Well, here is how my day went today (a typical day in my life):
7:00 am Arrived at Rockhurst (lots of parking available), Finalized agenda for Assessment Committee Meeting
7:35 am Worked on a Case Study for CSM presentation (CSM stands for Combined Sections Meeting. This is an annual meeting of the American Physical Therapy Association where researchers present and share their latest findings and generally enjoy coming together for a meeting of the minds and good camaraderie.)
9:00 am Interviewed a prospective PT Student
10:15 am finished interview, ran to bathroom (TMI), and collected materials for next meeting
10:30 am Musculoskeletal III Planning Meeting with Jim Dronberger, PT, DPT and Justin Trent, SPT and Gary Eichenberg, SPT our two graduate assistants.
11:00 am Assessment Committee Meeting with Drs. Jean Heibert, Jim Dronberger, and Brian McKiernan
12:00 pm Conference call with collaborators (Bob Latz, PT from Kentucky and Judy Deutsch, PT, PhD from New Jersey) to discuss and finalize our presentation at CSM in San Diego
1:00 pm Meeting with Brian McKiernan, PT, PhD to discuss computerized ontology mapping CAPTE objectives through the curriculum for our PT program
2:00 pm Worked on Poster for CSM
3:00 pm Met with Anne Pearce a faculty member from the Art Department to discuss collaboration on PT and Art Research/workshop
4:00 pm Worked on another poster for CSM
5:45 left Rockhurst
and I still have to edit a paper and study for the class I teach tomorrow AND I didn't even teach a single class today. I love my job.
