Physical Therapists in the Emergency Department

I am currently a first year DPT student, and I'm researching the role of physical therapists in the Emergency Department. I figured I would ask the pros about their opinions on it before I take a step farther into my investigation!

Does anyone have experience as a musculoskeletal specialist in the ED? I would love to hear about some physical therapist's experiences and opinions about it.

Thanks everyone

Thank you for this! I actually have already done some literature research, and this is one of the articles I have found.

I am more interested in hearing from physical therapists who work in the ED or know someone who has, or other physical therapist's opinions on the subject.
