Episode Description from the Publisher

What happens when you have just three months to prepare for the PCS exam? In this episode, Sheila welcomes Anne Heinritz, PT, DPT, ATP, PCS, a former Pushing Pediatrics listener who became a PCS passer and is now joining as a podcast guest! Anne owns a mobile pediatric physical therapy practice in Reno, NV, and she shares exactly how she approached studying for the PCS over a three-month period while balancing a career, family, and the curveballs of life along the way. Anne walks us through her study timeline, the resources she used including textbooks, PCS Advantage, and AI, and how she prioritized the content that mattered most when her study time was limited. She also shares how she let go of perfectionism, pivoted from perfection to purpose, and managed the stress of a quickly approaching exam. Plus, Anne reflects on what she learned from the experience and what she would do differently if she had to prepare for the PCS all over again. If you’re studying for the PCS and wondering whether it’s possible to prepare in a shorter timeframe, this episode offers an honest, practical look at what worked for one successful test-taker.Follow Anne and Ready To Roll Physical Therapy on Instagram and LinkedIn Ready To Roll Physical Therapy website Resources discussed in today’s episode can be found on our websiteUse code PUSHINGPEDS for $150 off your Medbridge subscription! Check out our website, and subscribe for our subscription only episodesFollow us on InstagramThis episode was brought to you by the Pivot Ball Change Network.
