EIM’s PTA Orthopaedic Skills Weekend Intensive/Virtual Lab Course is an interactive course designed to enhance the participant’s knowledge and skill level in the evidence-based management of individuals with common upper and lower quarter disorders and dysfunction. Participants will gain pragmatic knowledge in the areas of safety, professionalism, clinical decision-making, pain neuroscience education and data collection. In addition, attendees will learn and practice evidence-based manual techniques and exercise interventions in order to improve patient outcomes. For the best learning scenario for attendees, 8 to 10 hours of online learning precede the weekend course. Pre-course work is not required for students in the PTA Specialty Certification in Orthopaedics program who already completed required foundational components.
