Department of Physical Therapy

Continuing education for physical therapists is essential for staying updated on new techniques, research, and technologies. It helps maintain licensure, improve patient outcomes, and advance careers. Ongoing learning ensures physical therapists provide the best care and stay competitive in the evolving healthcare field.

St. Ambrose University's Department of Physical Therapy offers a variety of hands-on, continuing education courses throughout the year.

Open to the public, these courses are designed for physical therapists and physical therapist assistants in Iowa and Illinois. Some courses are also approved for occupational therapists and occupational therapist assistants.

Presenters include faculty, clinicians, and other healthcare providers. These are offered at no cost to the community and provide continuing education credits.
