Journal Clubs
Engage with colleagues on the implications of cutting-edge research for your own clinical practice
1-hour journal club sessions focusing on the latest research, selected specifically for relevance to your practice
How Journal Clubs Differ from Traditional Continuing Education Programs
Dynamic Discussion Sessions: Held bi-monthly via Zoom, these sessions offer a platform for interactive discussions where participants explore key insights, exchange perspectives, and brainstorm practical applications of the research presented. This learning through collective expertise- the wisdom of the room- encourages new ideas that lead to improved clinical practice.
Earn While You Learn: Enhance your professional development while earning continuing education credits (CEUs). With each session offering 2 CEUs, participants can accumulate a total of 8 CEUs across four enriching discussions. For the Direct Access course, participants can accumulate a total of 10 Direct Access CEUs during 5 separate sessions. Note that these CEUs have been approved in Pennsylvania
Seize the Opportunity: Don’t miss out on the chance to connect with like-minded professionals and expand your knowledge base. Join our vibrant community of physical therapists committed to lifelong learning and practice excellence. Together, let’s unlock new possibilities and shape the future of physical therapy.
-
• 4 sessions- 2 CEUs per session- 8 total CEUs (note that the direct access course offers 10 direct access CEUs)
• Each 1-hour virtual Zoom session (sessions occur approximately every other month) is focused on one article
• Participants must complete and submit a worksheet for the article prior to each session
• Participants may miss a session or sessions- CEUs will be adjusted accordingly -
All CEUs – approval in PA; other states negotiated on an individual basis with course participants- note that I will make every effort to obtain CEU approval for all course participants, and that costs for this approval may need to be shared.
This innovative continuing education program is designed to help physical therapist educators implement evidence into their teaching practice. Current educational research in physical therapy will be reviewed in detail and used as a facilitator to translate new knowledge into practice change. The program is divided into four separate 1-hour online sessions and includes ongoing focus on implementation of course information. Participants will also learn and apply strategies to gather and analyze knowledge relevant to teaching practice needs, along with specific recommendations for translation of this knowledge into practice. All sessions will be interactive and include case-based discussions on successes and challenges related to knowledge-to-action. In order to enhance and support learning, participants will be expected to complete readings and a brief assignment prior to all sessions. Dates for the 2026 course (all online sessions meet from 7:30-8:30 pm eastern time): May 19, August 25, October 20, December 8.
This innovative continuing education program is designed to help physical therapists implement evidence into practice. Current clinical research in pediatric physical therapy will be reviewed in detail and used as a model to translate new knowledge into clinician behavior change. The program is divided into four separate sessions and includes ongoing supported clinical implementation of course information. Participants (the target group is practitioners with > 5 years of experience, but all are welcome) will learn strategies to gather, analyze, and apply knowledge relevant to clinical practice needs, along with specific recommendations for translation of this knowledge into daily clinical practice. All sessions will be interactive and include case-based discussions on successes and challenges related to knowledge-to-action. In order to enhance and support learning, participants will be expected to complete readings and assignments in between sessions.
Note: This course will provide 8 CEU credits. Participants must attend and participate in all sessions and successfully complete all course assignments in order to receive the 8 CEU credits. Participants who miss any sessions and/or do not complete any of the session assignments will have their CEU credits adjusted accordingly.
