Educational design
The resident will complete 26 weeks of didactic curriculum on MedBridge to advance their clinical knowledge and patient management skills. This will include video presentations, PowerPoints, journal article readings, and short post-module quizzes to assess the residents' learning. The resident will also complete a series of 26 modules provided by the Neuro Consortium complete with individual learning objectives and post-test assessment. Each module offers additional readings to complement each lecture. The resident will also partake in the journal club provided by the Neuro Consortium. Additionally, the resident will attend weekly lectures provided by the Beaumont Health Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation Department and foundation courses by our own faculty experts within physical therapy.
Clinically, the resident will also be provided unique learning opportunities for attending clinics, shadowing rehabilitation professionals as well as working as a member of multidisciplinary teams. The residency will culminate with a comprehensive final test and a Capstone Project consisting of a case study to help demonstrate mastery of advanced concepts of neurologic rehabilitation. Computer and internet access are required.
