LEARNING AT GIBVEY

Gibvey is a pain management and teaching clinic. We attract therapists who have a great desire to work at a clinic that nurtures their post-graduate clinical training. Your training begins when we buddy you up with a senior therapist who helps you with the protocols of the clinic. Your clinical training begins with any number of assessment/treatment related circumstances, such as, case history discussion, therapist exchanges, web-cam assessment assistance, web-cam treatment assistance, Workshop Assistant Program, card rounds and staff meetings.

Your case history discussion is facilitated with Richard Gibbon, With respect to the Privacy Laws and Gibvey’s strict adherence to patient confidentiality, your patient’s name remains anonymous and only the details of the case history that you wish to discuss are disclosed. Case history discussion with a senior therapist commonly helps you discover the cause of your patient’s pain and whether or not you have developed enough experience to treat it. If you haven’t, Richard will help you in your clinical training to achieve this goal. If Richard is not at your location at that time you can go online for web-cam assessment assistance. It may also be possible for another senior therapist in the clinic to assist you in this area.

Another great learning experience at Gibvey is our Card-Round sessions. Richard or another senior therapist will bring a particular health care topic to a round table discussion and practicum. These topics commonly relate to techniques or courses in bodywork and would often cost the therapist hundreds of dollars to take at an outside institution. Examples of past Card-Rounds are Cranial-Sacral Therapy, Level I, taught by Richard, East meets West, taught by Keith Camacho, Remedial Exercise for Low Back Pain, taught by Steve Hough.

Gibvey prefers to start our therapists part-time, working no more than a three day week with six hour shifts. Because of the time we invest in you we ask for a one year commitment to our team and clinic. We offer fair compensation and cover most of your costs, such as, advertising, treatment room, treatment table, clean sheets, blankets and pillows, thermaphores, wax bath, music player and CD’s, a waiting area for your patients, a kitchen and eating area to relax or have your meal and an area for Inter-Clinic Webcam communication with Richard to assist you in your post graduate clinical training.

To ease you into our new environment we “buddy” you up with a therapist at the clinic who helps you with the policies and procedures at Gibvey. We find this assistance helps you to focus on patient care.
Gibvey also encourages massage therapy and osteopathic schools to it’s intern program. Each student-intern is provided with supervised assistance while completing 10 hours of administrative duties that focus on clinic operation and 10 hours of hands-on practicum which sees the student-intern observe and treat patients of the clinic.
