Why this course?

Alleviating burnout and stress in the student physical therapist is a priority. This cutting-edge 5-hour virtual training will teach educators, ACCE’s, DCE’s, SCCE’s, and clinicians how to use mindfulness-based interventions to decrease stress, burnout, compassion fatigue, and secondary trauma commonly encountered in PT education and practice. 

Mindful clinical practice is a way of being with stress that prevents the cascade of autonomic, metabolic, and neurologic events that can harm us. Learn evidence-based practices that are simple to employ in any situation and have lasting effects on student burnout, mental health, and emotional well-being.

By the end of this course, you will walk away with a toolkit of mindfulness-based interventions that reduce burnout and build psychological resilience in today’s student physical therapist.
