As a physical therapist, you well know how important — and required — taking continuing education courses is to your career, and your patients’ rehabilitation.
Below are just a few of the hundreds of continuing education opportunities that will be held in 2011 around the country — as well as online.
(A side note: a great place to search for CE opportunities is at www.rehabedge.com. The site lists courses from all over the globe under various topics [from acute care to yoga and all in between alphabetically], as well as home-study, post-professional, DVD-based or online and, of course, the more traditional “live” seminar/course.)
You may search for courses at this page: https://www.rehabedge.com/Search.aspx.
