Quality Continuing Education for Neurorehabilitation Professionals
Description
As physical therapy and occupational therapy evolve into doctoring professions, the continuing medical education should likewise be expected to meet a higher standard. This course teaches therapists how to think critically, deepen their knowledge, and perform skillfully as a professional. Course content is informed by best evidence and best practice, with a focus on clinical application. This is accomplished by establishing a community environment of situated learning with patient attended clinical mentoring.
Ideal for:
- Physical Therapists
- Occupational Therapists
The NeuroPro standards of a neurorehabilitation professional include a thorough examination and differential diagnosis, the design and initiation of treatment, modulation and treatment progression, and the foundational sciences upon which these are based.
