OH (PRWEB) April 7, 2004 Bradenton, FL-- Care2Learn gains APTA approval
through the Ohio Physical Therapy Association for 6 Physical Therapy Courses
launched online! Care2Learn’s Accreditation and Operations team has received
approval from the Ohio State Board of Physical Therapists to offer a total of 6
accredited courses online.
Course content includes Shoulder Impingement;
Medical Errors Prevention; Spasticity; Arthritis and Geriatric Testing totaling
15 hours. Many of these courses were available for other physical therapists
around the country but now can be taken by the therapists who hold licenses for
Ohio. The impetus behind the approval of these courses was Care2Learn’s growth
through its corporate business in Ohio.
“The courses will help busy
practicing professionals receive quality courses via the web 24 hours daily, 7
days weekly” says Lori Coleman, PT, Regional Director for Life Care Centers of
America and newly appointed Advisory Board member to Care2Learn. Care2Learn’s
board members are active professionals who review and pilot the courses in
accordance with policies and regulation of accrediting bodies.
“During
times of creative time management, Ohio PTs now have the option of utilizing
Care2Learn’s library at an average cost of 18.00 a contact hour for most
courses. Further, we have plans to send in new courses monthly for OPTA
approval”, says Edie Deane, SLP/AUD and Chief Administrative Officer for
Care2Learn. Although these courses target professionals within the long-term
care environments, a staff developer/educator in any healthcare environment
would benefit from offering the courses and concepts due to the focus on
excellence in growing clinical expertise while earning continuing education
credits, simultaneously.
Care2Learn has received OPTA approval for the
courses at www.care2learn.com however, Care2Learn always refers the
licensed professional back to the state board with any questions concerning
continuing education regulations.
