    The virtual lab course comprises modules that include both self-directed and active learning. The self-directed lab portion is a video-instructed clinical application class consisting of orthopaedic 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.

  • You should take it! Great content, great practice of manual skills. If you treat LE pathology whether that is post-op, acute or chronic MSK injuries, and/or if you have direct access then you NEED to go through this course. Course Graduate

  • Awesome course- learned a lot of new skills for treating the ankle and knee, including mobilization, and just doing the same things in a different way which may be more beneficial. Highly recommend. Course Graduate
