2015 has been an outstanding year for PhysicalTherapy.com, thanks to the efforts of remarkable presenters and the enthusiasm of members! Our goal every year is to provide top-quality continuing education that is practical and relevant. This year we added over 65 courses to our library focusing on areas such as sports, pediatrics, home health, neuro, geriatrics and orthopedics. We had two outstanding guest editors: Casey Unverzagt, PT, DPT, DSc, OCS, SCS, CSCS and Mike Studer, PT, MHS, NCS, CEEAA, CWT, who assisted in successful sports and geriatrics virtual conferences. We attended and exhibited at CSM in Indianapolis. We provided BOC approved EBP courses this year after hearing your desire for that approval association in Indianapolis. We also continued our partnership with the Foundation for PT because we feel it is important to support our future therapists and the future of our profession. As the year comes to a close, I would like to highlight our top 10 courses of 2015.
