When the worlds of performing arts and healthcare collide, we're gifted with unique insights that can revolutionize the way we approach healing.

Enter Dr. David Lorello, PT, DPT, BT-C,  an associate professor in physical therapy and a burn rehab specialist with an acting background, whose personal narrative is a rich tapestry weaving performance techniques directly into patient care and education. His story, a blend of serendipity and hard-earned success, serves as a poignant reminder for us to embrace each milestone in our professional journeys and to appreciate the breadth of our experiences. With a dose of creativity and a spirit of curiosity, Dr. Lorello champions the use of improv to sharpen communication skills among healthcare providers, and we're reminded of the immeasurable value that diverse backgrounds and continuous learning bring to the ever-evolving landscape of healthcare.

Dr. Lorello opens up about the nuances of patient communication and the invaluable role of an actor’s intuition in building rapport. The conversation takes a turn through the hallways of a burn center, retracing the steps from a competitive environment to a more harmonious, integrated approach that places empathy at the forefront of patient care. 

As Dr. Lorello recounts the challenges of self-mentoring and navigating initial setbacks, he highlights the profound influence that workplace culture has on both healing and professional growth.

Finally, Dr. Lorello tackles the essential facets of PT education, mentorship, and the art of asking the right questions.
