THE NEW GRAD PACKAGE

YOU'VE COMPLETED YOUR MASTERS OF OSTEOPATHY. SO NOW WHAT?

HOW DO YOU INTEGRATE YOUR SKILLS (OR EVEN LACK THEREOF) DIRECTLY INTO A CLINIC?

We’ve formulated a overview of what to expect and some of the skillls you will develop over the next year as a practitioner at InTouch Health Co.

CLINIC PREPAREDNESS

Preparing a treatment room – it sounds silly, but a clean room before each patient speaks volumes.
Opening and closing the clinic – sometimes you could be the first staff member in or out.

Understanding how to secure the premises correctly is a must.
Sizing you up – we’ll need your shirt size for a clinic shirt of course.
Meeting the local practitioners we refer to – we’ll make time to show you our friends that we refer

to. We’ll try and organise casual or formal appointments for you to see our wide referral base.
Speak to all of our practitioners about their work, their passions and their specialties. Know how

they can help you with complex patients.
The local tour – You’ll get a nice tour of the local area, so you can know where all of the nice

eateries, bars and shops are. We’ll always give you the heads up on the best spots!

CLINIC ADMINISTRATION

Understand the booking system - we use Cliniko! Our clinic manager will
give you a tutorial of this effortless booking system.
Set-up your email – yep, we’ll have someone set up your InTouch email account so you can access it from your phone and laptop.
How to take a payment – in rare instances, you may need to take a payment. You will be shown how to do this via the HICAPS machine.
Learn how to write a report for a GP, insurer or third party. Know how to develop your own or choose to use of our templates.

THE IN-ROOM DISCUSSION

Taking a good initial case history – learn the tips, trick and techniques to get all of the good

stuff out of the patient.
This is really undervalued – and a real strength in a great practitioner. Trying to develop rap-

port, as well as nailing the important stuff like treatment, diagnosis, co-founding factors, and fear avoidance patterns. Getting the informal and formal chat is really important and helps in the therapeutic outcomes of the patient. This takes time and will develop slowly
You’ll get to learn;
- How to talk about treatment in lay terms. Especially the indirect stuff!
- Present a rational diagnosis and prognosis with the patient.
- Know when to refer to another practitioner, and discussing why this would be of benefit. - Diagnosing fear avoidance beliefs early – and feeling confident in your suggestions.
As Osteopaths, why we understand the body the best, and how this reflects in our approach.
How to book and re-book patients without feeling guilty – and getting busy quickly.
Our great online tools, videos/links, anatomy and research articles to show the patient to assist in their understanding.

THE TREATMENT - AKA “THE FUN STUFF”

Learn how and when to use the variety of techniques and the types of clientele in which it will be effective. You’ll be exposed to both direct and indirect techniques which will be used for a broad range of presentations. Some of these include!

Direct and indirect TMJ release for TMJ and cervical/cervico-genic headaches.
Long lever BLT of the hip and SIJ for labral tears, and SIJ issues.
BLT of the SIJ and sacrum for acute and chronic lower backs.
The need for hydration for acute lower backs
Treatment of the adductors in pregnant women.
Kinesiology taping – for all over the body.
