New grad PTs lack explicit training in clinical reasoning, leaving them unable to adapt evidence-based knowledge to real patients who don't follow textbook patterns.

Existing pathways (school, residency, fellowship, OCS) teach knowledge and techniques but don't explicitly develop the clinical reasoning layer—how to adapt evidence to individual patients. High-cost Instagram mentorships exploit this gap without solving it.
