Prerequisites: This 3-day course is open to veterinarians and physical therapists that have taken Introduction to Canine Rehabilitation and Clinical Skills (formerly called Canine Rehabilitation Therapist), and to CCRP veterinarians and physical therapists that have taken Clinical Skills. Veterinary students may take Clinical Applications after completing Introduction to Canine Rehabilitation, Clinical Skills, and their third year of veterinary school. Physical therapy students may register for this course, but can't start the course until after they graduate and are licensed.
Online Coursework: We have streamlined this course to include more online content. This course has 2 classroom days and 23 hours of additional online coursework that must be completed before the first day of class. The online coursework includes our Canine Neurology and Neuro Rehabilitation course at no charge.
Registered students: Please set aside the time you need to do the online coursework before the first day of class. We will email instructions for accessing the online coursework at least 30 days before the class starts. |
