Empowering Clinicians: A MOOC Initiative in Rehabilitation Technology
Description
Current educational offerings mainly consist of BSc and MSc programs or cost-intensive continuing education programs. Thus, there is a lack of easily accessible, cost-effective educational opportunities for clinicians seeking to integrate rehabilitation technology into their practice. This MOOC initiative unites the ZHAW with world leading societies in rehabilitation technology to develop an accessible, budget-friendly educational program for clinicians leveraging technology for improved patient outcomes. The curriculum will encompass fundamental neurophysiological principles, insights into available technologies, and strategies for seamless integration into clinical practice.
