Neuro Essentials Masterclass 2024
Join the Live 2024 Neuro Essentials Masterclass led by Dr Melisa McConaghy.
Over 12 weeks, you will access live & online group coaching, explore case studies and get feedback on your cases. During the course you will also have full access to 12 learning modules and resources.
Degree programs often provide the foundational theory and knowledge across many aspects of physiotherapy, but can often lack in its clinical application. During this Live Masterclass, we will aim to bridge the gap between theory and real life clinical application.
In this special online masterclass, you will get access to top clinicians from Advance Rehab Centre. During these live online sessions we will explore case studies and review your client cases, questions and challenges. This masterclass has been carefully crafted to address the many learning needs commonly encountered by both new graduates and also those who have not worked in the specific space of neurological physiotherapy before.
Please note: The Masterclass is now open and will run for the duration of 12 week. Each month there will be a live group coaching session. Cut off for registrations at the end of week 1 (10th of March)
Course Content
The online modules are self-directed and are available throughout the 12 week masterclass. These online modules are broken up into 3 easy to digest chapters, for you to explore at your own pace within the 12 weeks. You will have access to the course for a duration of 12 weeks from the 4th of March.
At the end of the masterclass, you will understand:
- How to approach a neurological assessment and determine subsequent recommendations.
- How to work effectively within the NDIS framework.
- Functional mobility training and addressing associated neurological challenges.
- The functional and clinical context of spasticity.
- Holistic care of your clients – neurological needs beyond mobility.
