NAIOMT provides a complete, seamless post-professional education pathway for physical therapists wanting to become experts in clinical reasoning. We aim to help manual physical therapists achieve the highest standards of clinical practice and effectively treat complex patient problems. One of the ways we achieve this is through continued innovation in the way we offer our courses. Our newest addition to NAIOMT’s course schedule is a Hybrid COMT Course format.
What Makes This Course Format Different?
Our new Hybrid COMT-1: Lumbar Spine course format offers the same high-quality content and outcomes as our traditional model but in a more flexible and engaging structure designed to better fit your schedule.
The hybrid courses include 4 live Zoom sessions (1 hour each) over the month leading up to the in-person lab; 2 hours of asynchronous learning per week, designed to be interactive, relevant, and immediately applicable, and 1 full-day, in-person lab for hands-on skill refinement and clinical integration.
This model is ideal for busy clinicians who want to minimize weekend disruptions while maximizing engagement throughout the learning process. You’ll cover the same evidence-informed, clinically applicable material, just with more flexibility and enhanced interactivity during your prep time.
