2 Week Structured Training to Foster Clinician Growth and Hands On Expertise 


Overview

The ProTailored Manual Certification Program (PMCP) is a 2 week, clinician-focused, career-enrichment opportunity. The PMCP is a training program for physical therapists to improve their diagnostic skills, advance their manual skills, provide structure in treatment processes, ensure guiding support, and advocate for a well rounded evidence based treatment approach. This is all provided in a direct supervised environment by your mentor over a 2 week period where you both will be working on the same material. You will be given daily feedback, hands-on training, case review studies, and tested on every technique taught throughout the program. 

The PMCP is broken into three phases: Orientation, Training, and Testing. 

Phase 1:

The first phase is an introduction to the ProTailored logistics, processes, procedures and resources.  

  • Understand the flow of the office and processes used to provide a welcoming and efficient patient experience
  • Learn expectations of clinicians to maintain a healthy, productive, and professional environment  
  • Familiarize yourself with our online database of over 100 videos of diagnostic tests and treatment techniques 

Phase 2

The second phase is a review of the performance and application of over 100 diagnostic tests and treatment techniques along with learning how to deliver The ProTailored Experience and The ProTailored Way

  • Gain confidence in examination of musculoskeletal pathologies and anatomy, learn current clinical prediction rules and red flags during clinical presentation
  • Perfect over 100 manual techniques that entail myofascial, joint and nerve limitations on the entire body utilizing evidence based treatment
  • Understand proper exercise prescription for every region of the body
  • Understand and implement the “ProTailored Way” for each appointment type (Evaluation, Follow-up, Discharge)
  • Learn how to provide the “ProTailored Experience” at each appointment
  • Deliver proper patient expectations in outcomes and plan of care

Phase 3

The third phase is a review and administration of the effective communication strategies used at ProTailored. This is test day!

In order to pass the training portion of the PMCP, the clinician will need to complete and pass the following: 

  1. PMCP Training Checklist (all items signed off on)
  2. PMCP Skills Test on every special test and manual technique (80%+ proficiency)
  3. Pop-In Observation of the “ProTailored Way” (80%+ proficiency)

By passing these “tests”, it ensures that the clinician has an awareness of how the office runs and the procedures/processes used, the proper skills needed to treat successfully, and that they are able to have a nice flow to their appointments that is marked with the “ProTailored Stamp.”
