Just because your life is busy doesn’t mean you have any less desire to advance your skills and provide better care for your patients. We’ve designed Continuous Learning to give you the best live continuing education available, in a format that’s friendly to your schedule.

Continuous Learning is a live online program, via Zoom, that includes nine 2-hour sessions and a final 3-hour session over 10 months (that’s 10 total sessions and 21 total credit hours)! Each session will cover a different region of the body or a particular dysfunction, with a short lecture followed by live treatment demonstrations with high quality video and multiple camera angles. Our excellent instructors will lead each session, giving you greater access to our expertise than ever before! Expect many clinical “pearls” our instructors have picked up throughout their careers as well as answers to your specific patient questions.

This is your chance to fulfil your license renewal requirements without giving away an entire weekend, or ever leaving home. Continuous Learning is ultra-flexible in that you can register for the Full 10-Month Program for a great value, or any of the individual sessions alone. Remember, all sessions are worth live continuing education credit (see state approvals below).

I liked that I could take away some things and immediately use them back in the clinic. There were even times when I was thinking of a specific patient when the instructor was talking about a technique. Having the videos is valuable.
