In Episode 006, we are joined by Doug Kechijian to talk about the lessons learned through his education in both the military and the more conventional academic path for physical therapy school. We discuss the roles of both a practical based, hands-on education and one involving a conventional classroom setting and more theoretical approaches. With the last year of lockdowns and limiting social gathering, education has taken a more distanced approach with less hands-on learning involved. We ask Doug if we can integrate the best of both worlds to make sure that students receive a complete education under these circumstances and in the near future. We also wonder if this can be accomplished using ‘virtual’ techniques and technology, with brick and mortar educational setups being a thing of the past. This interview is a must listen for anyone involved in education and professional development for agile professionals.

Doug Kechijian is a physical therapist and CEO and co-founder of Resilient Performance Systems. Resilient seeks to systematically explore the continuum between acute rehabilitation and athletic performance. Resilient’s clientele includes athletes and operators from Major League Baseball (MLB), National Basketball Association (NBA), professional mixed martial arts, X Games, Winter and Summer Olympics, Major League Lacrosse (MLL), National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), federal law enforcement tactical teams, military special operations forces, and those with a history of persistent pain and extensive surgical backgrounds. Resilient also advises organizations about medical and performance staffing, program development, and injury risk mitigation strategies. Before beginning his sports medicine practice, Doug was a Pararescueman in the U.S. Air force where he deployed throughout the world to help provide technical rescue capability and emergency medical care to U.S and allied forces. He is a nationally certified paramedic with advanced training in emergency, trauma, and wilderness medicine. In 2015, he was selected as one of the U.S. Air Force’s Outstanding Airmen of the Year. Doug received his AB in Biology from Brown University and MA in Exercise Physiology/Doctor of Physical Therapy from Columbia University.
