Continuing Education
Across The Company
Goal
We believe in constant learning through continued education and professional development in order to train our team, learn from each other, and be the best practicing clinicians in the country.
What It Looks Like
Quarterly Sessions:
Better healthcare starts with us. To be the best we can be for our patients, we need to push ourselves out of our comfort zones, ask better questions and think differently about the answers. Sessions occur quarterly and we teach them internally. They allow us to not only be great at what we do but to learn and build new skills that will help us make a difference.
Think Tank:
Each week we co-treat a patient together within each office. The goal of Think Tank is to develop, refine, and discuss clinical reasoning and patient communication so that we can collaborate and grow as clinicians together.
Spinal & Extremity Manipulation Weekend Intensives:
Each quarter we host a continuing education course that focuses on spinal and extremity manipulation. Instructed by both a John Mark Tyler (chiropractor) and Shelly Tyler (manual physical therapy fellow), these course focus on developing and refining manual techniques.
