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.
What’s Included in the Advanced Practice Program

iKT endret hvordan organisasjonen vår leverer helsetjenester ved å hjelpe oss med å implementere evidensbasert praksis mer effektivt på tvers av team. En virkelig karriereendrende opplevelse
iKT viste meg at intensitet ofte er den brikken som mangler. Walk the Walk kobler aktuell evidens med ekspertise fra den virkelige verden, noe som gir meg selvtillit til å implementere HIT i praksis
Walk the Walk var det mest innflytelsesrike kurset jeg har tatt. Det endret praksisen min umiddelbart og påvirket PT- og OT-teamene våre. Tre år senere har forbedringene fortsatt, og de har gitt bedre resultater for pasientene og økt selvtillit når det gjelder å anvende forskning
Walk the Walk-kurset styrket mine kunnskaper og ferdigheter i høyintensiv gangtrening. Jeg implementerte det med hell både i undervisningen min og i en pro bono-klinikk, der studentene nå praktiserer HIT ukentlig med personer med nevrologiske lidelser.
Det nettbaserte og hybride formatet gjorde det enkelt å delta i Walk the Walk. Jeg kunne fullføre selvstudiedelene på fritiden, samtidig som jeg kunne delta sammen med andre klinikere for å lære og stille spørsmål. Til tross for en travel hverdag fikk jeg et vell av praktisk kunnskap.
Overgikk forventningene mine - utfordrende, godt tempo og svært effektivt i et eksternt format.
Dette kurset ga meg evaluerings- og behandlingsstrategier som jeg ikke hadde funnet gjennom mine egne litteraturstudier. Å få evidensen presentert på denne måten var enormt tidsbesparende og ga meg økt selvtillit i praksis.
Evalueringen og behandlingsstrategiene, spesielt for de sensoriske og autonome systemene, var veldig nyttig for meg. Dette er ikke et område jeg har fått mye opplæring i gjennom PT-skolen.
En vakker måte å gi et omfattende kurs i funksjonelle nevrologiske lidelser basert på aktuell forskning.
Balansen mellom asynkron og synkron læring passet godt inn i min travle hverdag. Kurset styrket min tilnærming til evaluering og behandling av personer med FND, og førte til mer dyptgående funksjonelle og sensoriske vurderinger.
Hvis målet ditt er å utvikle ferdigheter som gjør deg i stand til å lede et KT-team eller å lede implementeringen av EBP på høyt nivå ved din institusjon, er dette kurset for deg. Før kurset visste jeg nesten ingenting om kunnskapstranslasjon. Nå, etter å ha fullført kurset, føler jeg meg forberedt på å begynne å lede implementeringsarbeidet på arbeidsplassen min.
