The Professional Development Committee (PDC) is working on the development of a Manual Therapy Certificate of Completion. The certificate will be launched during 2015. Those wishing to earn the certificate will complete several online modules and will complete the certificate by attending in-person sessions. Within the certificate there will be three tracks - upper extremity, lower extremity and spine. Several ATs who are leaders in the manual therapy field are already engaged with Jay Scifers, DScPT, LAT, ATC, and Chad Krawiec, MS, ATC, of the PDC in the development of the certificate. The PDC is also forming a work group to help with the development of the certificate. Those who are selected to participate will be involved in the development and/or delivery of the content.
If you are interested in sharing and expanding the core knowledge of manual therapy in the AT profession and would like to be considered for the work group, please send a letter of interest and CV to knowledgeinitiatives@nata.org by Oct. 24.
