VIRTUAL STUDY GROUP OPPORTUNITY!!!

Mechanics Corner: From the Course to the Clinic
Presented by MIUSA Faculty members Dave Pleva, MA, PT, OCS, Dip. MDT and Jon Weinberg, PT, Dip. MDT

A virtual study group open to clinicians that are at various points along the training program to keep them engaged and motivated throughout the MDT education process and beyond in follow-up to the courses.

In our next session, we'll be focusing on how to effectively gather a patient's history during a clinical evaluation. We'll discuss how to balance active listening with staying organized and in control of the assessment. This includes learning how to address the patient's functional concerns - like emotional, cognitive, and other health factors - while making sure you collect all the important clinical information you need. The goal is to develop a consistent, thorough approach that ensures nothing is missed and appropriate baseline tests can be ordered.

Session Objectives:

1. To identify possible cognitive, emotional, environmental and pathological issues and barriers that have the potential to affect the patient’s outcomes
2. To understand how to gain the confidence /trust of the patient to optimize outcome.
3. How to effectively utilize the history and evaluation process to dispel the patient’s concerns
