About the course
Ordering imaging shouldn't be a guessing game. This course walks physical therapists through the clinical decision rules that determine when imaging is actually indicated, how to order appropriately, and how to interpret and communicate findings with confidence. Across 8 modules, you'll cover imaging logistics, lumbar spine and lower extremity imaging, tendon and joint pathology, and how to translate imaging results into clear, actionable communication with patients and referring providers. Whether you've plateaued on when to refer for imaging or want a sharper clinical framework for decision-making, this course gives you the tools to know before you scan.
Meet Your Instructor
I'm a physical therapist, clinic owner, and educator who works with orthopedic patients across the lifespan in real clinical practice. Imaging decisions often get overlooked in continuing education. Early in my career, I had plenty of manual therapy and exercise technique courses but struggled with knowing when imaging findings actually changed my plan of care, how to order appropriately without overusing costly studies, and how to communicate results in a way patients understood. Through years of clinical experience, mentoring clinicians, and teaching residents, I've learned that confident, evidence-based imaging decisions have a greater impact on patient outcomes than any manual therapy technique or special test ever could. My goal with this course is to help you refine the clinical decision rules that determine when imaging is warranted, how your findings should shape your plan of care, and how to communicate results in a way that drives meaningful patient trust and engagement.
