PT educational opportunities for prosthetic rehab

PT educational opportunities for prosthetic rehab

Doug Jack

My listserv question was:

 

Does anyone know if there are continuing education opportunities in
prosthetic rehabilitation geared towards physical therapists? I have a
physical therapist with 20 years of gait training experience and she's
wondering if there are any advanced PT courses geared towards prosthetics or
if there would be any value to her attending a AOPA or AAOP meeting. Your
opinion is welcome.



 

 

Doug,

 

We (Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago) are offering a Lower Limb
Prosthetics Course geared toward Physical Therapists next March. We do so
about every 2-3 years. I cannot find the listing on our website, but your
therapist may directly contact Mellisa Kolski (cc'd) in order to find
additional information.

 

Currently we are set for March 17-19th & it typically runs 2.5 days.

It is not listed on the website bc the agenda is not set, but our full
course calendar will be up shortly with dates.

She can always contact me in the future if questions.

-I only know of Robert Gailey's courses. But, they're excellent for PT's
and CP's.

 

-Anything Bob Gailey!

 

-Check with Bob Gaily in Florida. He is a PT and specializes in prosthetic
gait and offers courses. I'm not sure of the spelling of his last name.

 

-Have her speak to Bob Gailey PHD,PT

 

-I saw your post on the list serv. My company provides course material for
the O&P community to present to physical therapists.

If you are trying to reach new referral sources or protect the ones you
currently have our program is worth taking a look at.

I have a Webinar that explains what my company does and how an
education-based-marketing-platform works. The presentation is free and
practitioners will earn 1.5 CEUs from either the ABC or BOC for
participating. The Webinar is live, and takes about an hour. Just reply
to this email and I'll be in touch about scheduling a date and time
convenient for you.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Sincerely,

Tom McGovern
