ATU Polyclinics: Stay-at-Home CE for 2011

Dumpster swimming pools?Don't let your therapists hear another "MOMMY, DON'T GO!!!"

A few months back we surveyed aquatic directors and rehab managers to discover what they fret most about when sending staff off to continuing ed training.

Public enemy #1? Pulling their therapists away from family, followed closely by patient coverage and rising travel costs.

Need a way to keep your people fresh without impacting ops or morale? Consider ATU polyclinics, a new CE concept where we hit the road with our proven 2010 classes so your people don't have to.

From elite athlete to fragile child, we have a track that will interest your staff. Be you water newbies or aquatic black-belts, consider purchasing an ATU polyclinic now. It's aquatic therapy at its best and without the tears.

Then attend ATU's Aquatic Therapy for the Military class in Houston next month and learn from Mellisa Lewis, MPT, former director of aquatic therapy at Walter Reed Army Medical Center.
