Do you ever feel overwhelmed by what you do every day? Do you wonder if there is an easier more effective way to do what you do? Does your documentation take too much time? How often do you feel like you really gave a great visit and finished all you had to finish in plenty of time? If you answered yes to these questions, this is the course for you.
Rehabilitation is a wonderful field. We help people who need our services, yet at times the delivery of this care can be overwhelming. It is time to stop and find ways to give our great care in a more effective and efficient way. This fun-filled course that is not like any you have seen will do just that. Dr. Carole Lewis (seasoned therapist – the politically correct way of saying older) and Dr. Aaron Baldridge (newbie therapist) will have a conversation about experience and evidence that will help you decrease your workload and enjoy your work. From some of the best solid research-based treatment interventions to hints to do during an initial evaluation to suggestions for efficiency every visit, these two will have a lively discourse on what may help.
They will review some good and bad notes, demonstrate some vignettes, and dissect some exemplary case studies so that you will walk away with some new ideas and insights.
Stop working harder and work better. Join us.
