The scope of practice in physical therapy continues to expand, with greater opportunity for clinicians to deepen and focus their expertise, improving quality of care for patients/clients. As a doctoring profession, we are accountable for commitment to professional development and clinical excellence, integrity, moral agency, and competence.
With experience, proficiency, and credentials come expectations and accountability beyond the daily performance of your job. This course will challenge you to consider these opportunities and potentially set some personal goals for the next steps in your career. This course is appropriate for physical therapists pursuing board specialty in geriatrics and those who wish to deepen the focus of their practice to serve the aging population specifically.
