“Act as an experienced physical therapy clinical mentor helping a therapist take over a new caseload. I'm inheriting 12-15 patients mid-treatment after another therapist left the clinic. Help me create a preparation checklist and framework for reviewing each patient's chart and planning my first session with them. Include: (1) the top 5 things I should look for in each patient's existing documentation, (2) a list of questions I should prepare to ask each patient during our first meeting to understand their goals and concerns, (3) a simple one-page template I can use to organize key details about each patient before I meet them (diagnosis, treatment phase, main functional limitations, patient goals), and (4) suggestions for how to introduce myself and build rapport when patients may feel uncertain about the therapist change. Make everything practical and easy to adapt quickly.”
