CALABASAS, CA–(Marketwire – September 15, 2010) – The McKenzie Institute has long been recognized as a leader in the professional development of physical therapists, especially in what has become known as the “McKenzie Method.” A recent partnership agreement with continuing education provider EDUCATA widens the scope of courses offered by the Institute to include EDUCATA’s interactive content, and exposes its own classes to the large number of EDUCATA members.
“Post-grad education for clinicians has been the cornerstone of our Institute since the mid 1950’s, when our highly-effective and evidence-based method of assessment, diagnosis and treatment for the spine and extremities was developed,” said Stacey Lyon, Executive Director of The McKenzie Institute USA. “Partnering with EDUCATA allows us to build on this foundation with additional courses that meet our standards of quality and boost our Mechanical Diagnosis and Therapy (MDT) Certification curriculum.”
“We are extremely proud of counting McKenzie among our partners,” said Dr. Marilyn Pink, EDUCATA President and CEO. “The Institute represents all that we value in the education of the therapist: a truly professional approach that delivers evidence-based content to PTs around the world.”
Under the terms of the agreement, EDUCATA courses will be accessed from the education channel at mckenziemdt.org and McKenzie courses will form part of EDUCATA’s catalog of offered classes.
