Have you ever collected outcome measures on a unique or interesting case, participated in a practice-based research project, developed an intervention or education program to improve practice or wanted to do so? If so, then please share your experience with peers by creating a poster to display your case history, clinical program or research project. Darlene Reid and Susan Harris will present a webinar on “How to Put It Together; Create a Clinical Poster of Your Expertise” at 7:30-8:30 pm on Wednesday, January 22nd, 2014. Details on poster submissions are available on the Call-for-abstracts-2014.
All those attending the meeting will have the opportunity cast their vote on the best Case Study/Clinical Program and the best Research Project to determine the Physio’s Choice Awards.
Also at the Forum
Our own faculty members will be presenting beginning with Teresa Liu-Ambrose who will start off the Forum talking on a Healthy Body for a Healthy Brain which will cover the benefits of exercise on the brain. Importantly, the evidence does indeed support the notion that “Exercise is Medicine” and that the daily dose required for neuroprotection is within the reach of many older adults.
Clinical Professor and Knowledge broker will be moderating ‘Exercise Prescription: What’s Hot, What’s Not’ with other UBC faculty including Darlene Reid, Professor; Linda Li, Associate Professor and Chiara Singh, Clinical Assistant Professor
Clinical Assistant Professor, Neil Pearson will share his expertise in the use of therapeutic Yoga as a panel member for Emerging Trends in Practice
In the UBC Lounge
The Human Library, the Tech corner, and the Physios’ Choice Poster Fair will help make the UBC lounge a worthwhile destination at this year’s Physiotherapy Practice Forum.
Human Library
This year we will highlight our PT clinical faculty members, making them available as “books” that you can sit down with for a one on one conversation. The list of titles will be circulated ahead of time, so that you can reserve your conversation spot during one of the forum breaks or lunch. Titles will include clinical areas or techniques, programs and stories about clinical practice and life experiences in foreign locations.
Tech Corner
Do you own a Wii, notepad or smartphone? Then you have a powerful clinical tool at your fingertips. Come and see demonstrations from UBC faculty members and MPT students/alumni on how videogames, activity monitors, webtools and apps can augment your practice.
To culminate the meeting we will once again be co-hosting the reception from 3:45-4:45.
