The Advanced Practice Program (APP) provides clinicians and residents with a comprehensive, flexible pathway for building advanced neurologic expertise. Grounded in evidence-based practice, clinical reasoning, and implementation science, this program helps clinicians move beyond knowledge acquisition to confident, high-quality clinical application.
APP is ideal for clinicians preparing for board certification, new and experienced clinicians seeking continued development in neurologic physical therapy, clinical leads supporting evidence-based care, or any therapist aiming to elevate their neurologic practice.
