Understanding your numbers (perhaps even just tracking them in the first place!) and the story they convey are crucial to creating a sustainable business. These events at the private practices will be “closed door” events where no recording or media will be allowed. We want the people in person to have transparent and honest conversations with one another regarding their businesses, as that is one of the best ways we can grow together as a profession.
This annual educational gift from the APTA of Maryland is to celebrate and spotlight the many local Clinical Specialists in various settings and practice areas as well as to give back to the valued members of our chapter as a THANK YOU for your Membership and support!
Educational Credit: The spring meeting courses are approved for three (0.3) credit hours by the Maryland Board of Physical Therapy Examiners

When children with complex and chronic conditions age out of the pediatric system, do you know how to help them in the adult outpatient arena? When they present with an orthopedic issue do you know enough about their co-morbid diagnosis to give them the best care?
This new series will highlight conditions that are commonly seen throughout the lifespan.
The spring meeting is the first in the series where we will be discussing Cerebral Palsy and Cystic Fibrosis. During this course you will learn about commonalities that can be seen between the two pertaining to treatment at various times during the lifespan. For example, parent education on prognosis for younger children, prevention/proactive maintenance, pelvic floor issues, orthopedic issues, equipment, etc.
This course is designed to present current research, incidence and etiology of injuries of the elbow and shoulder specific to baseball throwing athletes. Apophyseal and UCL ligament injuries will be the focus for the session. Relevant anatomy of the shoulder and elbow will be reviewed, and the biomechanics of throwing will be presented. Attendees will get insight into screening and treatment interventions that can be applied not only to baseball throwing injuries but also to other overhead athletes.
