Send us Fan Mail This week, I'm joined by Dr. Nickie Brooks, a board-certified oncology specialist treating oncology and pelvic floor patients outside Philadelphia. This is a full, extended conversation, and it's the first of two parts. Nickie's path into oncology PT wasn't a straight line. She started in outpatient ortho, got burnt out within months, found her way into lymphedema and oncology…
Send us Fan Mail My client Nickie joined the Case Report Writing Workshop because she knew she needed to write a case report for her oncology specialization application — and she wanted real guidance and feedback to get through it. She wrote it, submitted it, got accepted with zero required edits, and passed her exam. AND THEN a peer-reviewed journal, Oncology Rehab and Practice, accepted her case…

This episode gives you the exact test-day tactics to turn your knowledge into…
Send us Fan Mail You've been told to "study hard" for the oncology boards — but hard work without strategy is just burnout with extra steps. This video gives you a 5-step framework that replaces overwhelm with a focused, evidence-backed approach so you walk into exam day with real confidence and your sanity intact. You don't need to be the smartest PT in the room. You need a system that works.…
Send us Fan Mail Most PTs don't fail their specialization exam because the oncology content is too hard — most of the time, it's because they treat a 6-to-12-month endurance event like a weekend cram session. This episode gives you the exact study framework to build a sustainable plan, prioritize high-yield content, and arrive on exam day sharp, rested, and ready. Specialization prep is a…

In this episode, we cover: · Why going into specialization for the wrong reasons…
Send us Fan Mail Do you remember your early oncology evals? How long they took, how much you were scrambling, how you were lucky to get to treatment before the session was over? That was most of us. And it stayed that way... until specialization changed everything. In this episode I'm getting real about what actually shifted in my clinical practice when I went through the ABPTS oncology…
Send us Fan Mail Even after understanding the financial reality of specialization, many oncology PTs still feel stuck trying to decide whether specialization is worth it. In this episode, we go deeper into the internal conflict behind this decision...and why you may still feel torn between continuing to “figure it out as they go” versus choosing a more structured path. In this episode, we cover: -…
