The Discharge Function Score Measure: the Who, What, Where, How for PTs and OTs, and Why You Should Care
Presented by Ellen R. Strunk, PT, MS, GCS, FAPTA, ACEEAA, CHC, RAC-CT
Live WebinarThu, Aug 27, 2026 at 12:00 pm EDT
Course: #5536Level: Introductory2 Hours
In both skilled nursing facilities (SNFs) and home health (HH), older adults rely on physical and occupational therapy to regain function. In 2024, CMS elevated the importance of functional outcomes by adopting the Discharge Function Score across the HH Expanded VBP Model, SNF QRP, and SNF VBP, directly tying payment to patient progress. This session gives PTs and OTs a clear, practical overview of the measure, how it is calculated, and why it matters. Attendees will learn actionable strategies for integrating the score into daily practice, strengthening documentation, and ensuring that each patient's functional gains are accurately captured. Participants will leave prepared to collaborate with their agencies and facilities to improve quality and performance, and to highlight the essential value of rehabilitation in post-acute care. This course was designed for an interprofessional audience.

Moving Forward with Peripheral Arterial Disease: Differential Diagnosis and Evidence-Based Exercise Prescription
Presented by Melissa Bednarek, PT, DPT, PhD, CCS
Recorded Webinar
Course: #5541Level: Introductory2 Hours
While not always the primary diagnosis, peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is a comorbidity that can limit a patient's ability to maximize independence. It is crucial for therapists across the healthcare continuum to understand the nuances of this condition, given that a cornerstone of its treatment is a structured walking program. This course provides essential insights into the differential diagnosis and evidence-based management of PAD. This course was designed for an interprofessional audience.

Bowel, Bladder, and Sexuality Following Spinal Cord Injury
Presented by Kristen Cezat, PT, DPT, NCS, ATP/SMS
Recorded WebinarAudio
Course: #5450Level: Introductory2 Hours
This continuing education course provides therapists with an evidence-based overview of bowel, bladder, and sexual health following spinal cord injury (SCI). Participants will examine the pathophysiology and interdisciplinary management strategies that promote health, independence, participation, and quality of life. The course emphasizes the therapist's role in patient education, identification of complications, clinical decision-making, and referral to appropriate specialists. Practical recommendations for facilitating patient-centered discussions regarding bowel, bladder, and sexual health will be integrated throughout the course to support comprehensive SCI rehabilitation practice. This course was designed for an interprofessional audience.

Advanced Clinical Reasoning in Burn Wound Management
Presented by Jennifer Gardner-Harbison, PT, DPT, MHA, CWS
Live WebinarWed, Sep 2, 2026 at 6:00 pm EDT
Course: #5440Level: Advanced2 Hours
This 2-hour course equips therapists with advanced clinical reasoning skills for managing burn injuries across the continuum of care. Participants will apply evidence-based frameworks to assess burn depth, protect tissue perfusion, recognize infection, manage grafts, prevent contractures, and optimize functional outcomes. Through case studies and practical strategies, clinicians will learn how to integrate wound care principles with rehabilitation to improve mobility, healing, and long-term recovery to support daily activities, while collaborating effectively with the broader burn care team. This course was designed for an interprofessional audience

Evidence-Based Respiratory Muscle Training in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
Presented by Douglas Eck, PT, DPT, NCS, MHI, ATP
Live WebinarThu, Sep 3, 2026 at 12:00 pm EDT
Course: #5487Level: Advanced1 Hour
This course equips interdisciplinary rehabilitation professionals with a practical, evidence-based framework for safely integrating Respiratory Muscle Strength Training (RMST) into Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) care. Dispelling historical concerns of "overwork weakness," the session explores how targeted Expiratory Muscle Strength Training (EMST) preserves respiratory function, enhances swallow kinematics, and fortifies vital airway defense mechanisms without accelerating disease progression. Clinicians will bridge the gap between research and clinical application by mastering pressure-threshold device selection, resistance calibration, and the validated "Rule of Fives" dosing protocol. Ultimately, this course empowers therapists to confidently design, progress, and monitor home-based respiratory training programs that maximize patient independence and optimize long-term respiratory health. This course was designed for an interprofessional audience.

Maximizing Aquatic Equipment: Tools of the Trade for OT and PT
Presented by Andrea Salzman, PT, MS
Recorded Webinar
Course: #5444Level: Intermediate2 Hours
This course examines clinical decision-making related to the selection, application, and progression of aquatic therapy equipment across rehabilitation populations and age groups. Content focuses on how commonly used tools—such as flotation devices, resistance equipment, mats, boards, and pool jets—alter support, resistance, instability, and sensory input to influence posture, balance, gait, and strength training. Participants will explore how aquatic equipment can be intentionally dosed and progressed to support therapeutic goals while maintaining patient safety and meaningful transfer to land-based interventions. This course was designed for an interprofessional audience.

Advanced Concepts in HIIT and Circuit Training
Presented by Scott Cheatham, PhD, DPT, OCS, ATC, CSCS
Live WebinarWed, Oct 7, 2026 at 3:00 pm EDT
Course: #5470Level: Advanced2 Hours
This presentation discusses advanced concepts in high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and circuit training as they apply to physical therapists, occupational therapists, athletic trainers, and other rehabilitation and fitness professionals. Exercise programming strategies for patients of all ages and fitness levels will be discussed including types of exercise, progression/regression, and patient/client monitoring. This presentation is for the professional who desires an evidence-based update of advanced HIIT and circuit training concepts. This course was designed for an interprofessional audience.

Implicit Bias: Impact on Maternal Health in Minority Populations
Presented by Calista Kelly, PT, DPT, ACEEAA, Cert. MDT
Text/Transcript
Course: #5565Level: Introductory1 Hour
This text course examines how implicit bias and structural racism contribute to disparities in maternal and infant health among minority populations in the United States. It defines and differentiates implicit and explicit bias, explains how bias forms and operates within clinical relationships and power differentials, and connects these forces to structural racism and to documented patterns of maternal and infant morbidity and mortality. Learners explore the most recent national data on these disparities, including the populations at highest and least visible risk, and the everyday clinical moments where bias is most likely to influence care. The course then turns to practical, evidence-informed strategies that individuals, teams, and systems can use to recognize and reduce the impact of bias and structural racism on childbearing patients and their infants. This course was designed for an interprofessional audience.

Course: #5502Level: Introductory2 Hours
This course provides rehabilitation clinicians with a foundational understanding of mechanical ventilation to optimize clinical decision-making and patient mobility. Participants will explore the principles of oxygenation versus ventilation, types of respiratory failure, indications for mechanical ventilation, and common artificial airways. It covers core ventilator settings, primary modes of ventilation, ventilator-induced lung injuries, and key safety considerations for mobilizing ventilated patients. Emphasis is placed on interprofessional decision-making, clinical reasoning, and collaborative care coordination during interdisciplinary rounds. This course was designed for an interprofessional rehabilitation clinician audience.
