PhysioU supports Deep Learning with Free Access for All Schools Globally affected by the Coronavirus Pandemic!

Dear Colleagues,

All schools in the United States and likely other nations have been forced to shift immediately into an online-only model of education. This has been disruptive for all of us, faculty and students alike.

In this critical moment, PhysioU has decided that all impacted schools globally should have access to the evidence-based learning apps to minimize the burden on faculty and enhance deep learning for the students extended through August 15, 2020!

PhysioU is currently developing more apps, more simulations and new content to support education around the world for programs in the allied health professions. I look forward to connecting with you (education@physiou.com) if you have ideas or questions related to using PhysioU to enhance online learning!

Coronavirus in China and PhysioU (Chinese translations now available in PhysioU web apps!)

Three weeks ago, Dr. Yang Sun, PT. PhD. from the Shanghai University of Sport wrote us this email:

"Hi Michael,

I think you already got the news about the new coronavirus diseases in China. My family and I are good. But it is really changing our life here.

I just got a notification from my university today. The students can’t go back to school maybe until May. All the courses should be taught online before that. We are not the only one, this will be happened in all the Universities in China. 

So I think, Do we have any possible to launch at least the Chinese Version of CPR (Clinical Pattern Recognition App) ASAP in China? I think it will really help a lot people. Let me know your thoughts!!

Yours, Yang

The amazing effort and care that Chinese Faculty have for their students, in these times of trouble should be admired! The students I have met, and taught are eager, willing and bright. 

Your support of PhysioU has allowed us to pay translators to unlock the Clinical Practice Guidelines in our apps to enhance learning in this new "Hybrid" environment that our Chinese colleagues are now asked to teach in! 

The learning must go on! 

Each PhysioU subscriber can take pride in supporting the educational needs of many international groups, and in particular China!

Keep up the hard work! 加油!!!

China Physiotherapist, students and faculty! PhysioU salutes you!!

*If you notice the Chinese characters currently shown in the app, it is because we have rushed to release the Chinese translations for our Chinese colleagues, our programmers are working around the clock to make it easy to show or hide the translation depending on who needs to see it!

Global Impact Initiative with Cambodia Physical Therapy Association

PhysioU is proud to announce another Global impact initiative to bring guideline-based education to its partner organization Cambodia Physical Therapy Association (CPTA).

PhysioU now supports all members of the CPTA with full access to its suite of evidence-based apps to enhance clinician education and in clinic efficiency.

"Transforming the way we translate research into learning and clinical practice is the dream of the PhysioU team. Partnering with the Cambodia Physical Therapy Association allows us to leverage technology to bring new techniques, testing, movement analysis to transform clinical practice and education at a larger scale!" said Dr. Michael Wong, Founder of PhysioU.

Song Sit, President of CPTA

The President of the Cambodian Physical Therapy Association, Song Sit, said "The positive impact of this partnership helps our association in 3 specific ways:

1. To increase the CPTA members in 2020 and the following years comparing to CPTA members in 2019.

2. To improve the quality of physical therapy assessment and interventions of CPTA members on the relevant conditions by using tools from PhysioU.

3. To improve the quality of physical therapy education (associated degree program and bachelor bridging program) by using the tools from PhysioU.”

Leaders of CPTA

All PhysioU subscribers can take pride in the international support that they are contributing to as we try to Globalize Guideline Based Best Practice!

PhysioU goes international! Mandarin translation brings the Clinical Practice Guidelines to life for China!

In the past weeks of mentoring and treating patients in the Olympic Bird’s Nest and Olympic Water Cube in Beijing, China has been awesome!

The residents and fellows are excellent clinicians and the population we are seeing is so grateful for what we do! Believe me when I say, the Physical Therapy profession is one of the best professions on Earth!

Our patients have ranged from many with hip dysplasia, to low back pain and movement coordination impairments (lumbar sprain strain)… the list goes on and on! Clinical pattern recognition makes treating these patients, even when there is some language barrier very effective. We have used the apps almost daily with each patient, helping our interpreters whom are Masters of Rehabilitation Medicine and Physical Therapy students 

from the Beijing Sports University, to begin to see how the Clinical patterns, lead to relevant testing, impairment hunts and matching impairments to the appropriate interventions.

The clinicians here have been raving about the apps (see the video below) and since last year when I was here, we have been working feverishly with our super awesome translation team to bring Clinical Pattern Recognition to life in Chinese!

Almost all of the translation is done, but we could not wait any longer to give access to our China based colleagues! Starting today, you will notice that for almost all of the Clinical Pattern Recognition apps, there is now Chinese translation that is at the bottom of every technique page. Though this is not complete yet, our team continues to work relentlessly to finish the translation work, we felt that this was the time to bring the Clinical Practice Guidelines to life for our Chinese colleagues!

Special thanks to the translation team!
