In physical therapy continuing education, the main event of the traditional weekend course is…learning another technique. Sure, innovations in clinical care need to be disseminated to clinicians, supported by research and evidence-based practice. Emerging evidence shows that post-professional education, including mentorship, residencies, and fellowships, yields positive results regarding patient outcomes. What if these positive clinical acquisitions are not the main event but take a backseat to other often overlooked positive impacts, including staff development, recruiting, leadership, motivation, burnout, the longevity of employment, and more? Practice owners must make decisions on the development of their professional staff - give an allowance as a benefit or create a residency? Buy an online platform for all employees or have a formal mentorship? Does it matter? Does it help as an attractor in recruitment or merely serve as a requirement? Burnout rates are reported at around 30%, and a recent PT industry-led survey reported that 70% of PTs are looking at making a professional change in employment. Emerging non-clinical research is showing that post-professional education positively influences burnout, employment duration, and professional development. Combine this with CE, providing an opportunity for clinics to come together socially, connect with team members and peers, and create an event that may help with recruiting, team building, and motivation; we may have been looking at CE wrong all along. This presentation will show the research on the benefits of post-professional education but also make the case why these events may be far more than “just learning a new technique.”
Upon completion of this course, the participant should be able to:
4. Become familiar with the published research on post-professional education in physical therapy.
5. Detail types and pros/cons of development opportunities from purely online to talent management strategies.
6. Recognize how benefits from post-professional education are spilling over from traditional clinical benefits to potential critical staffing and business benefits.
7. Familiarize themselves with the emerging needs of the current and future PT workforce and how post-professional education may help meet those needs.
8. Reimagine traditional PT weekend continuing education, including the need for in-person, personal, and social events versus online education- only.Adriaan Louw, PT, PhD
