Education Resources Inc. Offers New Cancer Rehabilitation Course for Therapists
Boston, MA (PRWEB) June 29, 2016 -- The course, Evidence Based Cancer Rehabilitation and Its Role in Cancer Survivorship, is recommended for physical therapists, physical therapist assistants, occupational therapists, occupational therapist assistants, oncology nurses, oncologists, and other professionals contemplating or currently providing oncology rehabilitation services.
Research shows that most cancer survivors will have at least one physical side effect of cancer treatment, which may include fatigue, neuropathy, muscle weakness, and/or balance deficits. There is strong evidence to support the management of these side effects through physical therapy and occupational therapy. This interactive course will provide the latest evidence-based tools and strategies for the care of patients with diverse cancer types across the cancer continuum. It will also address functional outcome measures and reimbursement concerns. Participants will learn to develop an evidence-based rehabilitation plan, while addressing current reimbursement requirements from Medicare and private insurance companies. Participants may earn up to eighteen continuing education hours while growing their skills.
