Louisville, KY
In collaboration with the National Stroke Association, we have developed the field's only stroke certification program for therapists: the "Certified Stroke Rehabilitation Specialist" (CSRS™).
The CSRS™ is a four-tiered, seminar-based, stroke education program that is designed for licensed physical and occupational therapists of all experience levels. Each, live CSRS™ seminar offers 6.5 hours content and continuing education units (required for therapist licensure in most states). The four-seminar series culminates in an online certification exam administered via a secure website. Successful test completion with a score of 80% or above grants the CSRS™ certification. CSRS™-certified therapists may list the initials “CSRS” behind their professional credentials.
This course is now full. It is rare that we receive cancellations and, if we do, it is only 2 or 3 slots. If you'd like to be put on a waiting list for this course, contact our business administrator, and write, "add me to the Louisville waiting list" in the subject line.
