This weekend intensive lab focuses on the clinical reasoning and hands-on skill development necessary to effectively integrate manual physical therapy examination and intervention techniques into clinical management. Classification systems, outcomes assessment tools, and the application of diagnostic imaging are discussed as components of the diagnostic process within the framework of evidence-based practice.

By the end of the course, a successful participant will be able to: 

• Conduct a patient centered and skilled examination  
• Determine a patient centered and integrative guideline-based diagnosis  
• Refine psychomotor relative to examination and intervention delivery 
• Prioritize intervention to maximize patient centered effectiveness and efficiency  
• Organize the skilled deliver of manual therapy, therapeutic exercise, and education to one’s clinical skill set

The virtual lab course is made up of modules that include both self-directed and active learning. The self-directed lab portion is a video-instructed clinical application class consisting of orthopedic evaluation and treatment techniques. There are multiple short lectures with technique demonstration videos in each module which learners view independently. The active learning portion of the course includes activities such as technique practice on a partner; recording various technique demonstrations for viewing by peers and faculty via an asynchronous learning platform; and live, synchronous sessions in an online meeting platform. Synchronous sessions emphasize clinical decision-making and application of the techniques learned in the lab.
