Whitney discusses these and their implications with Les Sweeney, the CEO of the Professional Assist Corporation and President of the ABMP (Associated Bodywork and Massage Professionals). Topics include:

• How employment trends are changing in the field
• How are schools doing in preparing students for the diversity in our field
• What may be coming down the road for professional training in the future
• ...much more
