Coming from someone who used to struggle with article reviews and research application/implementation, the iKT curriculum has truly improved both my knowledge and overall confidence as a clinician tenfold. I loved the organizational flow to all the modules and topics, and having the ability to discuss questions/comments/scenarios during weekly online meetings and presentations only helped me to understand the information even more deeply. The mentors are extremely supportive and the warm, welcoming learning community that iKT as a whole has created is next to none.
As former residents, we have gone on to do amazing things using the knowledge and skills from iKT. We have established a monthly journal club. We have delivered lectures and helped with classes in both the local DPT program and medical residency. We have expanded our professional relationships with national organizations, served key roles developing research and knowledge translation programs at RIM, and advocated for evidence-based PT at an organizational and community level. However, we are proudest of our patients and standard of care. We each have had multiple catastrophic cases that have achieved phenomenal outcomes. We are considering publishing these cases!

I exclusively utilized the resources from iKT and felt more than prepared for the neurologic specialty exam. Their material was not only easily translated to clinical practice, but also readily digestible to study. I recommend iKT to all of my friends and colleagues that are preparing for their specialty exam.
