But how did it start and what did it take to open a successful practice? Kristin and Darren are joined by Doug and Jennifer to discuss why opening a massage therapy clinic is a viable career path, how community relations are the best marketing strategy, and why mentorship helps in building strong foundations. abmp.com/podcasts/ep-347-all-islands-meet- underwater-doug-nelson-and-jennifer-crozier Federal Rules Could Impact Schools Across the Country The US Department of Education (USDOE) proposed rules in May that would allegedly protect students against unmanageable debt by terminating access to federal financial aid for career training programs.

ABMP reminds therapists and students of the importance of advocating for the massage therapy profession, which includes speaking out when the data doesn't paint the full picture.
