Curriculum Overview

This curriculum prepares clinicians and residents who aspire to specialize and lead in the field of neurologic physical therapy.  This multi-component curriculum aims to improve knowledge and skills, as well as facilitate the application of evidence-based practice to patient care.  Clinicians will also receive training in knowledge translation to support them in becoming our next generation of change agents.

We accomplish this by:

1.  Facilitating the development of experts and change agents in the field of neurologic physical therapy.

2.  Providing an evidence-based curriculum in collaboration with leaders in the field.

3.  Supporting clinicians and residencies in the implementation of evidence-based practices through resources, tools, and mentoring.
