Document outcomes precisely and communicate clearly with patients and families to empower self-management and adherence.
- Professional growth: Elevate your expertise through exposure to a broad spectrum of diagnoses and rehabilitation challenges, with ongoing opportunities for specialty certifications, mentorship, and structured performance pathways that recognize and accelerate your development within the physical therapy discipline.
