Prerequisite: Foundation in Oncology Rehabilitation Target Audience: PT / OT / PTA / OTA /SLP Course Type: Live Webinar / Video & Live Virtual Lab Sessions Contact Hours: 28 hrs (2.1 ASHA CEUs) Price: $1250 |
All of the clinical skill sets and techniques instructed within the PORi Oncology Rehabilitation Curriculum are derived from evidence-based clinical applications within the scope of Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy and Speech Language Pathology practice. One of the more defining elements of PORi, presented alongside PT/OT/SLP evidence-based clinical application, is the necessary physiological and anatomical knowledge unique to the oncology patient population, which is required by qualified practitioners to accurately and safely implement oncology-specific treatment plans and realistic goal-based outcomes for this patient population.
Live and/or Video Patient Presentations
Running over 28 hours, the PORi Chemotoxicity & Cancer Exercise continuing education course includes patient case presentations of patients who have undergone a variety of treatments for their cancer and present with a variety of conditions and side-effects relating to their cancer treatments (primarily related to their chemotherapy). For virtual courses, patient presentations will run from between 60 minutes and 90 minutes via pre-recorded videos of patient treatments, technique demonstrations and patient interviews. In live courses or live lab supplementary courses, a patient case presentation can run as long as 3 hours and participants are given the opportunity, with guided supervision from the instructor, to perform subjective and objective evaluations on these patients, as well as practice the appropriate techniques (presented in the course) on the patients during these lab sessions.
