AHCA has a new webinar available titled Getting Older is not for the Weak: An Evidence-Based Approach for Improving Mobility that offers 1.25 CEs upon successful completion of a short quiz at the conclusion of the webinar.

In this training module, the RESTORE team, a collaborative group of researchers, educators, and professionals within the University of Colorado Physical Therapy Program, will share an approach for helping providers integrate the latest evidence-based rehabilitation strategies into routine practice.

The Getting Older is not for the Weak session is free with a PDPM Academy 2020 subscription.  AHCA SNF provider members can still register for the AHCA PDPM Academy 2020 Subscription – Building Optimal Operational Capacities©.  This exclusive “SNF provider member only” subscription package includes:
