Teaching Pathology that is Research-Informed

Author(s): Susan Salvo

1CE credit 1 Lesson Video

Learn the tools you need to incorporate research literacy into your school’s existing pathology curriculum. Explore how to teach massage students valuable skills for separating research-based fact from fiction when creating session plans for future clients with pathologies, including COVID-19.

This session was originally presented at the AMTA 2021 Virtual Schools Summit.

When you finish this course, you will be able to:

  • Identify modifications for clients with pathologies.
  • List reasons why learning evidence informed practice skills are important.
  • Implement lessons that blend research, massage and pathology.
