We design our offerings — such as our post-concussion syndrome continuing education course — to incorporate evidence-based practices to help you provide optimal care.
To best fit your need and schedule, we offer two convenient virtual class options besides traditional lessons:
On-Demand Online Classes
Attend our acute care PT CEU courses online on your schedule with our on-demand courses. All courses include a presentation from an industry expert and a handout you can use to follow along. You can pause the video to take a break or rewind to review specific information. Participants also have a year to finish the course and pass the post test.
Live Webinars
Experience engaging, live learning in a convenient virtual format with our live acute care webinars. You can join the class from any location as long as you have a steady internet connection. Before the meeting, you will receive an email with a Zoom meeting link for easy class access. After completing the webinar, you will receive a CEU certificate on your ERI account dashboard, which you can download and print at any time.
In-Person Courses
If you are looking for a hands-on learning experience, we also offer in-person courses. Our in-person courses use labs, lectures and videos to allow you to practice your technique and enhance your skills and knowledge. Throughout the acute care physical therapy CEU course, you will receive real-time guidance from field specialists and the chance to work with participants who share your passion.
