COURSE DESCRIPTION
Join us for this collaborative continuing education course offered by the faculty of Doctor of Physical Therapy programs in the Philadelphia area. This two-day, laboratory intensive course will feature 10 hours of hands-on gross dissection from the hip complex to the distal phalanges, guided by decorated leaders of post-professional and graduate education, and clinical specialists. A 3-hour on-line component to be viewed prior to the lab course will provide background knowledge of lower extremity anatomy and cadaver lab safety. Participants will be provided with the unique opportunity to explore human anatomy in an interactive environment and enhance their understanding of the key concepts that guide clinical practice.
