Canine rehabilitation in clinical practice

Your practical skills take priority

A VetPrac workshop will always put practical skills first. Participants at our joint workshop with CRI will participate in hands-on sessions covering palpation, assessment, range of motion, strengthening & the safe application of treatments including therapeutic ultrasound, laser, electrical stimulation therapy, cryotherapy and heat therapy.

Make the most of your learning experience

CRI’s Introduction to Canine Rehabilitation module consists of independent study and 4-days of in-person sessions. All students will have 11.3 hours of pre-course online work to complete prior to the course, and the CRI team will send you instructions for accessing the pre-course work approximately 60 days before the start of class. Please note that all videos must be viewed to receive full CE credit for this portion of the course. At the end of the course, students are given a take-home, open-book final exam with 30 days to complete. Collaboration with fellow classmates is encouraged. Students who do not attend a full day of class will not receive any CE credit hours for that day and may have to return to make up the missing hours.
