Benefits for learners

Our scholars benefit from an advanced pedagogical methodology that promotes mastery of the clinical subject material.  Participants will be involved in hands-on examination and interpretation of joint movement and central neurological controls of the motor system. Further, they will be trained in the development of treatment paradigms specific to the clinical findings that they observe.  The manipulation techniques are specific to neurological integration and the skill levels associated with these techniques are instructed to develop mastery.  They will be instructed in the design and creation of a clinical practice that might utilize these skills. Participants will receive 3 months of unlimited access to Medline after course completion.

Participants will receive a digital version of this class included in their tuition for one year and 3 months of unlimited access to Medline.
