CELEBRATING A SEASON OF THANKFULNESS AND A WONDERFUL TIME OF YEAR

Written by: JASON KELLN, ATP, CRTS®

I recently had the good fortune to attend a tasting event to try different beverages. Many presenters put forth their offerings as perhaps one of the best. After the sampling, there were one or two that rose to peoples’ favorites.

A perspective I gained from the event was that although many purport to be the good or the next best thing, it takes something special to rise to that level.

As we continue along in this ever-changing world of Complex Rehab Technology, there are some providers who have not yet adopted the iNRRTS designations of RRTS® or CRTS®. If we are those who have risen to the level and decided for our clients, our medical professionals we work with and our companies, and lastly for ourselves, we should work to help others rise to the professionalism we have attained.

One of the best moments in my professional career was to attain the CRTS® designation. The education and the people have helped my professional career, my clients and my company.

I have encouraged and assisted fellow co-workers and competitors to attain the iNRRTS designations.

I have collaborated with medical professionals, who mentioned to me after they have worked around North America, they are requesting the providers they work with have an iNRRTS professional to work with.

Our professionalism and the ability to locate the education sets us apart. iNRRTS CRT Supplier Certificate will make us that much stronger.

The iNRRTS CRT Supplier Certificate is the newest training course to help people rise to the professionalism we all aspire to achieve. I feel one of the best things is to help others we work with rise to this level.

I once received a card from a Dale Carnegie instructor that said, “Bloom where you are planted.” This profession of supplying CRT is a calling. Some by choice, some end up in it after other careers, military service to their country or their second or third career. The world of CRT for those of us who bloom is rewarding. We see families after the worst times in their lives, and we bring independence, dignity, and in some cases, self determination back to their lives.

I have always felt if you enjoy what you do in this profession, then the best thing you can do is to try and be the best to your self and those we serve.

As we are nearing the end of 2024, I wish peace and happiness of this festive holiday season to you and your families.
