NPTE and PhysioU Updates

Back in 2018, we published a blog post about “Up to 80% of the Board exam content preparation is enhanced by PhysioU.” Since then, the team got busy building more content to support the Physical Therapy education community. We are proud to announce that PhysioU continues to release new apps to enhance Board Exam Prep! Our goal is to build tools that help nurture critically thinking students who are ready for the clinic and are able to pass their board exams at a high rate.

New App Releases!

We released 3 apps last year during the pandemic - Exercise Patterns, Lines & Tubes, and Physical Agents.  This month we have released Surface Anatomy Palpation and Evidence-based Taping- groundbreaking apps that will truly enhance your classroom. 

New Simulations by PhysioU!

We are excited to announce the release of our Simulations series to create experiences that will help students apply their knowledge, develop clinical reasoning, and experience real-life clinical scenarios. Sign-in to Experience & Explore: Orthopaedics, Neurology, ROM/MMT, Physical Agents, and Acute Care.

The NPTE and PhysioU education 2018 update!

“If we focus on building clinicians, passing the boards will come naturally!”

– Dr. Michael Wong, Associate Professor, Teaching and Learning Fellow,Azusa Pacific University Doctor of Physical Therapy Program

As a team of educators, we have been watching carefully and thinking of how to build tools that create critically thinking clinicians… ready for the clinic, yet who are able to pass their board exams at a high rate.

With the new NPTE Test Content effective January 2018, PhysioU continues to evolve app and app content development to set your students up for success.

We have built our apps around the content areas that have the highest number of questions on the NPTE, and we have specifically built apps that develop reasoning which contextualizes information based on common clinical patterns. These apps augment the content delivered in the classroom to enhance deep learning.

Our students have developed a reputation for being very well prepared for the clinic and have had a 100% first time pass rate for the NPTE for our class of 2016 and 2017 (This will be updated as students continue to take the board exams…).

Take your program to the next level with the learning tools of the future!
