Pressure Points

A longtime RCC student clinic patient joins students for an open conversation about what treatment feels like from the patient’s side of the table. Together, they discuss first impressions, communication, comfort, feedback, and what brings someone back week after week.
Chris shares his own experiences and preferences. His perspective offers students a chance to reflect, while recognizing that every patient has different needs, boundaries, and expectations.

In the debut episode of Pressure Points, RCC graduate and RMT Esther Huang shares what no one prepares you for after graduation: the scramble to book board exams, prepping for the MCQ and OSCE, and landing two jobs within weeks. She's candid about the realities new RMTs rarely hear—employee versus contractor, the truth about rate splits, building a patient roster from scratch, and why marketing yourself matters more than expected. A grounded look at what the first year really looks like.
