Primary Care for Rehabilitation Providers: The Facts on Aging, Sleep, Physical Activity, Nutrition, Social Connection and Mor

Course overview

Science continues to ask the question about aging, "Is aging due to nature (our genes) or nurture (our lifestyle)?" A related question is now directed at our healthspan - how long can we live without disability or illness? In this course, Dr. Mike Studer brings the science and scope of practice-sensitivity to rehabilitation providers aspiring to improve comprehensive health and wellness for their patients, their loved ones, and themselves. This course provides applications in healthspan and lifespan that we can apply now as a primary care provider - but also - choose for ourselves, across five categories of life: physical activity, sleep, nutrition, social connection, and the health benefits of extreme experiences or "outside of your comfort zone." It is time for rehabilitation providers to truly know, understand, educate-on and deliver the science of health and wellness. This course will elevate practitioners' capacities with theory, science and applications - all while empowering their patients with the most valuable tool of all - evidence based options from which to exercise the element of choice.
