Therapeutic exercise is a cornerstone of physical rehabilitation, essential for restoring function, reducing pain, improving mobility, and enhancing outcomes across diverse populations. It involves the strategic use of movement to improve strength, flexibility, balance, and overall physical performance as part of a patient’s recovery plan. This course provides a practical, evidence-based foundation for prescribing exercise tailored to the unique needs of each patient. Participants will explore key concepts such as progressive overload, specificity, and periodization, while gaining a clear understanding of how the body responds to exercise through physiology and biomechanics. The curriculum emphasizes comprehensive assessment, clinical reasoning, and individualized planning to help learners design safe, effective programs for people with musculoskeletal, neurological, and cardiopulmonary conditions. It also covers program modification, outcome tracking, and communication across healthcare teams. Through real-world case examples and clear frameworks, learners will build the skills and confidence to apply therapeutic exercise through a purposeful, patient-centered manner.

Vaccines are essential for protecting patients and communities. However, errors in vaccine administration—such as wrong dose, wrong route, or use of expired products—can reduce vaccine effectiveness, cause harm, and decrease public confidence in immunization programs. This course guides health care providers through safe vaccine practices before, during, and after administration, explains common types of vaccine administration errors and their causes, and outlines effective strategies to prevent and respond to errors.

As life expectancy increases, more adults are living with age-related changes that impact mobility, strength, balance, and independence. Physical therapy can help manage these changes and reduce the risk of injury, hospitalization, or long-term care placement. This course explores how physical, cognitive, and psychosocial factors affect rehabilitation outcomes in older adults. Learners will gain an understanding of evidence-based strategies used to address common challenges, including fall prevention, muscle weakness, joint stiffness, and chronic conditions. The course also introduces supportive tools such as assistive devices, manual techniques, and therapeutic modalities tailored to the geriatric population. In addition, it highlights new technologies that enhance access to care and promote engagement, such as virtual therapy and wearable sensors. Through a person-centered lens, learners will examine how physical therapists collaborate with other healthcare professionals to support safe, functional aging across various care settings.

This course provides essential information on handling Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) compliance scenarios when employees have access to patients’ private information due to family ties. Participants will gain clarity on the legal boundaries, confidentiality requirements, permissible disclosures, and dual-role complexities when navigating medical privacy in care settings.

This course will explore the role of physical therapy in managing chronic diseases, focusing on evidence-based interventions to improve function and quality of life while ensuring patient safety. Participants will learn key principles for safely delivering physical therapy for patients with chronic conditions. The course will also cover evidence-based strategies to improve mobility, manage pain, and support long-term function across a range of chronic conditions, such as arthritis, multiple sclerosis, and chronic pain. Through practical applications and multidisciplinary collaboration, learners will gain the skills to optimize patient outcomes in diverse clinical settings.

This course provides an overview of financial fraud in healthcare across all care settings. Learners will be introduced to the concepts of fraud, waste, and abuse; examine real-world financial case scenarios; and review federal laws designed to prevent misconduct. The course also highlights organizational best practices that encourage ethical behavior and accountability.

This course provides a comprehensive guide to understanding and preventing Unintentional Retained Surgical Items (URSIs), which are classified as “never events” by major patient safety organizations. You will learn to identify common examples of URSIs, such as sponges, instruments, and sharps, and recognize the clinical, financial, and legal consequences of these incidents. The course covers key risk factors, from emergency surgeries to poor team communication, and provides practical prevention strategies. You will learn to apply standardized surgical count procedures and integrate advanced technologies like RFID and barcode scanning to enhance item traceability and accountability. You will be equipped to foster a strong culture of safety and continuous improvement in any surgical setting.

This course provides clinicians with a foundational understanding of vestibular rehabilitation, emphasizing evidence-based assessment and treatment strategies for individuals with vestibular dysfunction. Through a physical therapy lens, participants will explore practical tools to improve patient outcomes related to balance, dizziness, and functional mobility.

This course provides commercial drivers with essential knowledge and practical guidance on compliance requirements under Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSRs). It covers Hours of Service (HOS), drug and alcohol testing, Driver Qualification Files (DQFs), vehicle inspections and maintenance, and hazardous materials (HazMat) transportation. Drivers will learn how to apply safety standards, follow testing protocols, maintain required documentation, and perform their role in protecting themselves, their carriers, and the public.
