OUR MISSION

To help clinicians and healthcare organizations

improve outcomes and achieve financial success

by reducing CLINICIAN BURNOUT

and

improving the PATIENT EXPERIENCE

Workshops for Healthcare Organizations

The 2 factors that most impact the bottom line at every healthcare organization are:

CLINICIAN BURNOUT and PATIENT EXPERIENCE.

That includes nursing homes, rehab centers, hospitals, home health agencies, and outpatient clinics.

WHY?

CLINICIAN BURNOUT leads to higher employee turnover rates resulting in another round of investing in finding and training new staff.

Poor PATIENT EXPERIENCE leads to fewer referrals and a lower census.

We can help you improve your bottom line by training your staff on strategies to

reduce CLINICIAN BURNOUT and improve PATIENT EXPERIENCE.

Course Accreditations

These courses are unique psychology focused physical therapy continuing education courses and occupational therapy continuing education courses. Physical therapy training programs and occupational therapy training programs usually focus on developing clinical skills, but we at Psychology for the Body believe that non-clinical skills are equally as valuable to outcomes. Also, physical therapy certifications and occupational therapy certifications are primarily clinical, but our certification in Patient Experience Design provides clinicians with an expertise in patient experience. Enjoy all the opportunities for physical therapy classes online and occupational therapy classes online to improve your non-clinical skillset.

Testimonials

Thank you, Ari Ginsberg, PT, DPT, MSIOP. This has been an excellent seminar for our Caregivers and has helped our staff and leadership have better conversations about burnout in healthcare. This will help us in our journey to provide support and create exceptional employee experiences as we deliver world class rehabilitation to patients in our care.

Great presentation as always, will definitely recommend to others!

FANTASTIC! Nice job Ari! Be well.

Ari did a fantastic job of making a topic that would on its face be uninviting become an interactive pleasure. It was difficult to not be interested and engaged and the time went quickly while meeting the requirements. Thanks!

This was awesome. I wish every one of my colleagues could see this. Thank you for the time and consideration you put into this. I hope you know you are making a huge difference in an area a lot of people tend to push under the rug.

Very interesting presentation with many pearls of wisdom for improving patient experience TOMORROW. Ari is an engaging and knowledgeable speaker.

The Presenter was excellent. Power point slides were great and everything was well presented in a clear and concise manner!!!

A very relevant offering for all settings of rehabilitation and exercise. Excellent tie in to relevant literature and research on Rehab., human motivation, behavior, and ultimately performance factors in HEP.

It was very informative and had several good points that I can apply to my job immediately. It also validated some of the methods that I use when treating patients.

I was not sure what to expect from a virtual ethics course, but it was one of the best I have taken, Ari is an excellent facilitator and brings up topics that spur comments and debate even in the virtual setting. Would absolutely recommend his courses and look forward to my next one

This was a great lecture. Really enjoyed it
