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.
