The Advanced Neurologic Physical Therapy Practice Curriculum

The iKT offers an advanced neurologic physical therapy clinical practice curriculum for residencies and clinicians who want to specialize in this area of practice.

This curriculum prepares clinicians and residents who aspire to specialize and lead in the field of neurologic physical therapy.
