oPTimize is THIS WEEKEND and CEUs are due at the end of the year… If you still need hours (particularly in person hours), get signed up and head to Little Rock this weekend.

There are a total of 10 CEUs over the weekend (6 on Saturday and 4 on Sunday) which just so happens to be the exact number of “live” hours you need for your license renewal.

The weekend will be filled with great speakers on topics from orthopedics to pediatrics, vestibular rehab to opening a business. Not to mention opportunities to connect with fellow PTs and a chance to win $500 playing Vendoropoly! (Sponsored by GTS Physical Therapy)

Get signed up today!
