CEU Courses for PTs

Rehabilitation therapists are often called upon to work with patients who have complex poly trauma involving multiple components of the human movement system. This course will be a systems based approach to integrating the multiple systems into a custom plan of care for the poly trauma patient. The participant will make evidence based clinical decisions based on patient case studies that will be used throughout the course as material is presented. The content of this course is directly related to the practice of physical therapy and is therefore appropriate for the PT and PTA.

This course covers details of core anatomy, physiology, and an overview of the history and current best evidence for neuromotor retraining. Participants will come away from the course with the ability to incorporate advanced level thinking and skills in this area with their patients.

This course defines cultural and linguistic competency and related terms and presents factors that may affect the ability to provide culturally and linguistically competent care. This session addresses the need for self-awareness in culturally and linguistically competent medical care, the differences between disease and illness, and factors that may influence a patient's experience of illness as well as the health beliefs and practices of some cultures. The session offers an approach to eliciting a patient’s cultural health beliefs that can help inform therapists to deliver culturally appropriate treatments. This course is directly related to the practice of physical therapy and is therefore appropriate for the PT/PTA.

This course covers details of core anatomy, physiology, and an overview of the history and current best evidence for neuromotor retraining. Participants will come away from the course with the ability to incorporate advanced level thinking and skills in this area with their patients. This is part 1 of a two-part series.

This course will concentrate on an introduction to regenerative medicine, applications for the musculoskeletal system and expected post-treatment course and outcomes.

The purpose of this course is to provide physical therapists with a review of anatomy and physiology of the vestibular system. External and internal anatomy, anatomy of the 8th cranial nerve; ascending and descending tracts that carry information from the vestibular apparatus and the physiology of the Vestibular Ocular Reflex (VOR) will be discussed.

Overuse disorders of tendon present a challenge to physical therapists. The Achilles, patellar and hamstring tendons are especially vulnerable to injury and can be difficult to manage successfully. Epidemiology and the biomechanical factors associated with lower extremity tendinopathy will be explored and evidence-based treatment techniques will be reviewed. This course is directly related to the practice of physical therapy and athletic training and is therefore appropriate for the PT, PTA and AT.

The course addresses the health disparities of LGBTQ individuals, based the social determinants of health, including barriers to accessing care, lack of routine sexual orientation and gender identity (SOGI) data collection, discrimination, and lack of provider knowledge about LGBTQ health.

Rehabilitation Therapists are often called upon to work with patients who have complex medical conditions, a variety of monitors, diagnostic limitations and medical considerations which all effect the movement system. This course will be systems based review of complex medical conditions and how these conditions can effect patient participation in therapy. The participant will make evidence based clinical decisions based on patient case studies that will be used throughout the day as material is presented. This course is directly related to the practice of physical therapy and is therefore appropriate for the PT and PTA.

This seminar offers an in-depth review of Medicare Part B coding and billing, including CPT coding, unit to minute conversion, appropriate use of evaluation codes, modifiers, and G codes is offered. Using multiple examples, therapists will learn how to be compliant with coding, thorough in documentation to support skilled interventions, and detailed to avoid common errors. A review of elements known to trigger medical review including coding and documentation to support the plan of care is offered and tips and strategies for successfully managing medical review will be explored.
