Coddiwomple.

Abstract: This lectureship honors the legacy of Dr. Pauline Cerasoli who was a leader and pioneer in physical therapy education and who reimagined an innovative and bright future for the profession. This 2018 Lectureship titled "Coddiwomple" is divided into 3 mini talks. The first talk takes a 20-year look back on physical therapy education processes/inputs and products/outcomes to understand where we have been and how we arrived at this moment in physical therapy education. A second talk proposes that there are critical sea changes and forces at work seeking to transform physical therapy education as a result of external drivers, namely, disruptive innovation and technologies, big data analytics, and the transformation of health profession relationships. Given these changes, several critical course corrections are proposed for the future to include the implementation of collaborative shared leadership models, application of design thinking, and expanding partnerships for large scale population solutions. In conclusion, this lecture proposes that physical therapy education is cautioned not to default to "Coddiwomple" but rather to travel in a purposeful manner directed toward an intentional future given the many sea changes at work.
