This series of courses is designed to provide some sort of leveling content to both orient/re-orient you to orthopedic practice, but also provide you with familiarity to the types of cases and treatments that will be expected of you as a therapist with Louisiana Orthopedic Specialists. This material is meant to mimic Orthopedic Board Certification prep material, as the practice is built on patient outcomes through evidence based practice.
