Cognitive Behaviorally Informed Skills Training for Physical Therapists -September 2023
The Cognitive Behaviorally Informed Skills Training for Physical Therapists program is designed to increase the knowledge and skill of participants in selecting, applying, and integrating cognitive behavioral theory based strategies in their physical therapy practice. The curriculum consists of 12 weekly classes which combine didactics and experiential learning activities, followed by 10 weekly small group seminars that focus on further skills training and application through didactics, case examples, and experiential learning activities. In addition to class and seminar meetings, additional activities (e.g., experiential home practice exercises) and asynchronous training resources (e.g., videos, therapist manual, worksheets) are utilized. Please note that this curriculum is designed for practicing physical therapists and focuses on integrating cognitive behavioral theory based strategies into one’s physical therapy practice; this program does not provide training in physical therapy treatments.
