#THIRDTHURSDAY: PTs Who Order Diagnostic Imaging (2 CE hours)

In recent years greater attention has been given by our profession to the role of diagnostic imaging in physical therapy (PT) practice. Educational content related to diagnostic imaging is now required for PT program accreditation. Military PTs and all other civilian first contact providers routinely utilize diagnostic imaging in this critical decision-making process.

As more therapists continue to step into direct access roles, it may be beneficial to evaluate how referral for diagnostic imaging may impact clinical decision making and ultimately enhance patient care.

According to Illinois law, PTs are required to determine what conditions fall outside our scope of practice and to make referrals to appropriate healthcare providers when necessary. At times, a radiologist will be the most appropriate provider to refer to.

This #THIRDTHURSDAY session will explore how the referral for diagnostic imaging studies by PTs can impact clinical decision making and ultimately lead to enhanced patient care. Multiple cases will be reviewed in which imaging results directly led to an alternative course of management.

Dr. Aaron Keil PT, DPT share insights and expertise on "PTs Who Order Diagnostic Imaging"

COURSE OBJECTIVES:

Following completion of the course, participants will be able to:

Cite appropriate research that supports granting physical therapists privileges to order imaging studies directly.
