Meet Dave Cordoviz, a new Registered Massage Therapist, in Vancouver, BC. Dave discusses the invaluable lessons he'd learn while juggling work at multiple clinics while working at his family's Filipino restaurant. This episode shares insights from Dave's journey towards establishing a successful RMT practice.

Navigating the labyrinth of healthcare education can be complex. We dissect the heart of massage therapy education itself—contrasting the atmosphere of RMT school settings with that of university, and unraveling the threads of clinical relevance into an outdated curriculum. We examine the educational landscape with a call for an evidence-based approach that benefits both aspiring therapists and future clients.

Dave and I share stories from our educational journey's, advocating for a shift towards curricula that arm therapists with more than just textbook knowledge. This episode is another push for Eric to challenge the status quo, and weaving a new narrative for the future of massage therapy education—one where adaptability, patient empowerment, and the strength of community are at the core.
