Our Fusion family is excited to welcome Jake Miles as our newest account manager for our therapy division! Jake (#2 at Fusion) is a native of Norfolk, NE and graduated from the University of Nebraska – Omaha in 2007 with a degree in speech communications. Jake chose to work for Fusion because of our family like atmosphere and the ability he has to impact lives for the better.
Jake has spent his first couple weeks marketing for candidates while trying to build his own client list. Jake is excited to build relationships with his therapists and assist them in taking their careers to the next level. He is working hard to make placements, so if you’re interested in working with him, give him a shout. He’s great, we promise!
Jake is the youngest of 4 boys and a dog named Dudley. Between Jake and his wife, Jessica, they have 14 nieces and nephews in addition to their new little guy, Brody, who is just 9 weeks old. Jake is a self-proclaimed Husker football fanatic. He also loves to play golf, basketball, and spend time with his family in his spare time.
We believe that Jake’s competitive nature will be a driving force for him to get his therapists the best job possible. Jake’s parents have owned a steak house for 35 years that they built from the ground up. This has instilled in him the “whatever it takes to help your customer, you do it” mentality which he plans to bring to his career at Fusion.
Contact Jake if you’re interested in a therapy position with Fusion Medical.

It’s that time of year again. People everywhere are vowing to hit the gym, eat better, make more friends, and overall make a new beginning in the new year. Some have already fallen off the wagon and even more will in the months to come.
Healthcare professionals may have a different set of goals for the new year. Professional development, especially among new grads, may be a high priority on the resolution list. Professional development will help you land a great job and benefit you in the long run. It is definitely an ongoing process, but there is no better time to start than the present. There is no better way to achieve your resolution of traveling more than taking a job in an unfamiliar city. Whether your goal may be personal, professional, or just for fun, sticking to it is always the challenge. Here are some tips on keeping your resolution no matter what it may be.
Good luck and have a happy and prosperous 2013!

As a health professional, you face a lot of exposure to many types of people who can all carry germs and illness. Depending on the setting of your assignment, you may even be exposed to more than the flu virus.
Simple everyday items like your keyboard, doorknob, or microwave carry more germs than the average toilet seat. Disgusting, I know, but there are simple measures to prevent you from getting sick this flu season.
Hopefully, by taking these measures, you can prevent getting sick at all this winter.
Physical Therapists treat everything from a bruised hip to combat trauma. This is why it is very important for PT’s to keep up on the latest treatments through continued education courses. Physical therapy encompasses a wide variety of disciplines, but many CEU classes are designed to focus specifically on one or two of those disciplines.
Many states require licensed physical therapists to complete a certain number of continued education hours to keep up their license current in that state. These classes vary in their requirements. As a PT, you will be licensed in a state (or several) and can check with their department of professional regulation to see what those requirements are.
There are many classes, seminars, and conferences that you can attend to easily complete these hours. Classes are offered both online and in person. Many of the online courses are geared more towards the non-physical therapy portion of the profession such as profession ethics, fraud, and abuse. The American Physical Therapy Association (APTA) can be very helpful with determining which CEU is right for you.
We found some resources to help you find the right CEU class for you.
