Our Continuing Education Program is designed to provide an opportunity for licensed physical therapists to pursue continuing education courses and/or graduate academic credit without leaving full-time employment.   Currently the program has an orthopedic emphasis. The average course length is 3 to 4 days; all NAIOMT courses run for 6 days  (Sunday through Friday).

Andrews University has been approved by the American Physical therapy Association (APTA) and the North American Institute of Orthopedic and Manual Therapy (NAIOMT) to offer course work to help clinicians meet the requirements necessary for certification as:

Orthopedic Clinical Specialist (Exam offered through the APTA)
Certified Manual Therapist (Exam offered by NAIOMT)

All continuing education courses may also be taken for academic credit. Andrews University offers a transitional DPT as well as a DScPT in orthopedic manual therapy. Click here for more information
