The online modules are completed in 'cohort' style with 1-3 hours of weekly coursework over a 10 week period prior to the in-person lab intensive. The online modules, which include quizzes, assignments, and discussion boards must be completed prior to the lab intensive in order to complete the course and receive full CEU credit (see CEU section below).

LAB INTENSIVE CONTENT OVERVIEW

This in-person 12-hr (1.5 day) lab intensive is designed to help you practice and apply the skills learned in the didactic portion of the course.

During the workshop, participants will work through a wide variety of patient cases as individuals and in small groups where they must efficiently and accurately apply the following skills...

And before you read through the skills, just a quick note -> these skills may seem like part of your everyday practice, but this is an opportunity to take your everyday practice to the next level. These cases will prepare you for primary care PT practice, which can include a higher volume of new patients, requiring efficient and accurate clinical decision making. We teach you how to do what you normally do in 60 minutes in half the time with expert precision... preventing the chaotic exhaustion that is often felt when your brain cannot appropriately prioritize or handle uncertainty. So here's what you'll be expected to do in this lab:

- reviewing and analyzing patient intake forms to identify risk factors and draft hypotheses 

- triaging groups of patients in a walk-in environment

- selecting and accurately performing the most appropriate physical exam tests based on patient responses including cardiovascular and pulmonary assessment (ankle brachial index, cervical arterial tests, etc.), abdominal exam, neurologic exam, craniocervical exam

- determining and executing the most appropriate initial management plan including determination of urgency and consequence of delay, making any required referrals, communicating the plan to the patient and other healthcare professionals, and establishing appropriate follow-up.

In order to complete the course and earn a CEU certificate, participants must:

• Complete the full online didactic course

• Attend the in-person lab for the full duration

• Complete at least 2 case practicals as the PT
