Tune in to discover what makes FOX Rehabilitation a fulfilling and rewarding place to grow your career!
Jim: Welcome to The FOX Five, the show that explores FOX Rehabilitation through an original list created by a FOX colleague. Today's FOX colleague is FOX Rehabilitation Clinical Career Specialist, Cameron Broas. Hello, Cameron! How are you?
Cameron: Good to see you!
Jim: Good to see you too. I’m curious—what’s your FOX Five today?
Cameron: My FOX Five is Five Ways to Stay Fulfilled with FOX.
Jim: That’s a good one! Because when you work a job, you want that sense of fulfillment.
Cameron: That’s right.
Jim: If you don’t feel fulfilled, you’re not going to stay at that job for long.
Cameron: Exactly—you’re not going to be happy.
Jim: So, how long have you been with FOX Rehabilitation?
Cameron: I’ve been with FOX for a little over nine years. I started as an exercise physiologist and now I’m a Clinical Career Specialist.
Jim: Creeping up on a decade!
Cameron: That went by fast, not going to lie. It really did.
Jim: We should hold off until next year and call this "A Decade of Fulfillment."
Cameron: We should!
Jim: Let’s do it—a very special FOX Five episode. Alright, Cameron, what is Number One on your FOX Five?
Cameron: We have a wonderful sponsor and mentor program. No matter who you are as a clinician—whether you’re just coming out of school or have been practicing for 15 years—we give you a ramp-up time customized for you. This ensures you don’t feel overwhelmed. Plus, we pair you with a clinician who has been working with FOX. We ensure that they have undivided time to work with you. It sets you up for success, and we feel it’s very important to have happy clinicians.
Jim: I’ve spoken to so many clinicians here at FOX Rehabilitation, and they love the whole mentorship and sponsorship program.
Cameron: Absolutely! We would never throw you into the deep end.
Jim: Right, it’s like, "We’re going to show you the ropes first and let you do your thing once you feel comfortable."
Cameron: Exactly. We ramp them up nice and slow so they have ample time to learn documentation, scheduling, and everything else. We believe it’s important to set our clinicians up for success.
Jim: You’re never alone here. If you ever have a question, there’s always someone to answer it.
Cameron: That’s right.
Jim: And that brings us to Number Two on your FOX 5.
Cameron: We offer so many ways to grow in our practice. For example, we have a professional advancement program called PACE. We incentivize clinicians to grow professionally. We’ll do journal articles together, and clinicians earn points based on how many years they’ve been with FOX. At the end of the year, the points add up, and you receive cash bonuses and other rewards. That’s really cool!
Jim: Oh, yeah. There are so many ways to earn points.
Cameron: They give you a lot of opportunities.
Jim: And that brings us to Number Three on your FOX Five.
Cameron: We have a strong sense of community at FOX Rehabilitation. Like I mentioned, I’ve been with FOX for over nine years. We have events like FOX Spirit Night where we all get together. We go to happy hours, concerts, and other outings.
Jim: Yes! Amen to that. It’s so important to bring the team together.
Cameron: Exactly. Because at FOX Rehabilitation, clinicians make House Calls. So, it’s important to gather as a team once in a while to reinforce our shared mission—changing the lives of older adult patients.
Jim: That’s right.
Cameron: And we always have a good time when we’re together.
Jim: Yes, absolutely. I knew about FOX’s culture before I even joined—it was legendary in my circles. Alright, that brings us to Number Four on your FOX Five.
Cameron: We prioritize work-life balance. Not every place does that. If you want to grab a cup of coffee, go get that coffee. If you want to have lunch with friends, go have lunch with friends. You make your schedule work for you. It’s so important to keep our clinicians happy. We all have lives outside of work, and FOX ensures we can balance both. If you ever feel like your work-life balance is off, you can always talk to your Regional Director and figure out a solution.
Jim: That’s great advice. Cameron, does that bring us to Number Five on your FOX Five?
Cameron: Yes. My Number Five is: there’s always someone to help. You have your sponsor or mentor, your Regional Director, your Senior Regional Director, a Regional Quality Assurance Liaison, a Practice Liaison—the list goes on and on. You also have your colleagues. It’s so important to have that team with you. There’s always someone ready to help.
Jim: Well, Cameron, thank you for another excellent FOX Five!
Cameron: Thank you so much.
