Bridging the Gap: Aligning Employee Health Needs With
Organizational Goals (Recorded Webinar)
Presented by Keith Webster
This course is a recording of a previously hosted live webinar event. Polling and question submission features are not available for this recording. Format and structure may differ from those of standard Medbridge courses.
This webinar explores how rehabilitation and performance professionals can apply their clinical skills and foundational knowledge within industrial work environments. Designed for athletic trainers, occupational therapists, physical therapists, and other clinicians with experience in either competitive athletic settings or industrial care, the session emphasizes effective communication and trust-building with both workers and management. Key considerations related to worker confidentiality and appropriate communication boundaries will be addressed, including the application of the HIPAA Privacy Rule. The webinar will also review OSHA first aid–level care and highlight the importance of early injury intervention to promote workforce health and safety.
