This course explores the multifaceted concept of humility and its critical role in compassionate, culturally
responsive, and ethically grounded physical therapy. Participants will engage in defining humility for
themselves and differentiate the various types of humility—including cultural, intellectual, moral, personal,
and intergenerational—and consider how humility intersects with awe, identity, and professional physical
therapy practice.


Learners will investigate how dominant cultural frameworks may undervalue humility, framing it as
weakness rather than strength. The course will challenge participants to consider how these narratives
shape physical therapy practice, workplace dynamics, and the ability to say “I don’t know” in clinical and
collaborative settings.


This course will offer strategies for cultivating humility as a lifelong practice. Participants will explore how
humility supports curiosity, compassion, and accountability, and how it can be a powerful tool for change,
resilience, and ethical stewardship toward those we serve.
