More consideration needs to be given to all of the additional costs of education, not just the price charged by the education provider.
The cost of manual therapy certifications including the price AND lost work, time spent, child care, travel, lodging, study aids, texts, and/or equipment.
The Brookbush Institute is the only organization from our comparison group that does not charge a large additional fee for taking the exam, with most organizations charging between $500.00 - 1000.00.”
NEW YORK, NEW YORK, UNITED STATES, June 1, 2023/EINPresswire.com/ -- Below is a sample from the article: The "Real Cost" of Manual Therapy Certifications— Dr. Brent Brookbush, CEO of Brookbush Institute
What is The "Real Cost" of Manual Therapy Certifications? This includes the price, but also the lost work, time spent, child care, travel, lodging, additional study aids, texts, and/or equipment. Further, more consideration needs to be given to the efficacy of the education delivered (e.g. the value of the education per minute). In short, educators need to consider the cost of education relative to other activities that could have a larger financial impact on a professional's life, and/or on other activities that may improve their efficacy as practitioners.
In this new published article, the Brookbush Institute has attempted to create some objective criteria rating the "real cost" (and quality) of a comprehensive manual therapy certification, and potential solutions to these problems like increased reliance on online education, scalable exam methodologies, teaching integrated approaches to treatment, improving technique selection with evidence, etc.
