A presentation of the full scope of use of implanted radiation sources for medical purposes. The course includes consideration of all aspects of brachytherapy dosimetry and treatment planning as well as modern and cutting-edge brachytherapy clinical practice. Characteristics of interstitial, intracavitary, and intraluminal implants, as well as remote afterloaders, are considered.
This course presents an introduction to the medical and physical therapy management of individuals with neurological disorders. The focus will be on rehabilitation theory, with evidence-informed physical therapy examination, evaluation, diagnosis, prognosis, intervention and clinical decision-making for individuals with nervous system health conditions.
This course is a combined lecture and lab series focusing on advanced manual treatment interventions for the musculoskeletal, integumentary and neurological systems. Current topics are introduced through advancement of knowledge in the profession.
