Acute Care Rehabilitation

Course overview

Why should a physical therapist, occupational therapist, or athletic trainer take this acute care continuing education course? Develop the knowledge and skills necessary to effectively integrate your rehabilitation skills into the acute care hospital environment. A trained acute care therapist can help mitigate the effects of immobility on the respiratory, cardiac, neurologic, and musculoskeletal systems. Recent studies have identified improved respiratory function with early mobilization techniques such as proning. Learn the skills necessary to identify yourself as an essential part of the acute care team is critical, especially in pandemics such as COVID.
