Enhancing Clinical Reasoning Skills in Physical Therapy
With Real Case Review (12pm EST)

Description

Physical therapists often focus on literature related to single conditions or diagnoses, yet real-world patient presentations are rarely straightforward. This webinar is designed specifically for physical therapists looking to enhance their clinical reasoning skills, which are essential for precise assessment, personalized treatment planning, and informed decision-making—from routine cases to complex scenarios. Participants will delve into the fundamental elements of clinical reasoning, emphasizing thorough information collection, systematic synthesis, and the precise application of relevant data.

This session aims to provide attendees with practical strategies that can be applied across diverse outpatient clinical settings, benefiting both seasoned practitioners and new graduates alike. By participating, physical therapists can expect to bolster their confidence in managing intricate patient cases and achieving optimal treatment outcomes by improving their collection and synthesis of patient information.
