(FRI ONLY) Advanced Clinical Practice in Pediatric Physical Therapy Course (Sept 29)
- Registration Closed
September 29, 2023, Minneapolis, MN
Description
Join us for the 22nd Advanced Clinical Practice in Pediatric Physical Therapy Course. This 2.5-day course is geared toward advanced practice and is intended for experienced pediatric physical therapists with a strong desire to investigate current theories and evidence-based practice across settings. Physical therapists who are considering taking the Pediatric Certified Specialist exam through ABPTS are particularly encouraged to participate as part of their review.
At the end of the course, participants will be able to:
- Demonstrate advanced clinical competency in the provision of physical therapy services for children with diverse abilities and their families
- Synthesize and describe contemporary theories and evidence-based practices, and
- Integrate the theories and evidence presented into physical therapy practice patterns
Information
- The registration desk will be open at 7:00 am on Friday and at 7:30 am on Saturday and Sunday.
- Refreshments, including coffee, tea, and water in the morning and snacks/drinks during morning and afternoon breaks will be served each day in the meeting room area.
- Breakfast, lunch, and dinner will be on your own.
- An optional discussion session regarding writing a Clinical Bottom Line, the clinical interpretation of research articles presented in the Pediatric Physical Therapy journal, is scheduled for Friday immediately following course presentations. These brief commentaries help clinicians interpret information from the research as it applies to clinical practice. They are typically written in collaboration with a researcher or content expert and are a great way to build your network and resume.
- An optional discussion session regarding sharing preparation strategies for the Pediatric Clinical Specialist Certification Exam and networking with fellow attendees is scheduled for Saturday immediately following the course presentations.
