With an increasing number of patient discharges happening from acute care to home settings it is imperative for clinicians in the acute care field to provide the most up- to-date and impactful treatments possible. According to the Academy of Acute Care Physical Therapy, "83%" of therapy recommendations are met during the discharge process (2018). This indicates significant responsibility to rehab clinicians for providing the most beneficial information possible. Much of the groundwork of what a patient can achieve is implemented during the acute care phase of healthcare.
This interactive course will cover critical components associated with our compromised patients in the acute hospital setting. Participants will focus on understanding what is happening from a transdisciplinary perspective and how best to achieve functional outcomes. Hands-on experience will be achieved in both testing and treatment components during labs. Current research and techniques will be the focus of the day to put our best foot forward in acute patient care.
Target Audience: Physical Therapists, Physical Therapist Assistants, Occupational Therapists, Occupational Therapy Assistants, Speech-Language Pathologists

instructor was absolutely awesome and highly inspirational. she is what every clinician should be like, and it is nice to finally see someone who is as passionate and motivated and energetic as i am about the field and who sees what can be done therapeutically with this and all care populations.
