Knowledge into Practice Courses: Estimated Completion Time: 2 hours within a normal cycle of client care. Cost $ 24.99 (Canadian)
Knowledge into Practice (KIP) modules support clinicians who wish to improve their practise behaviours. KIP modules are series of programmed skills that you practice with a client or series of clients. The KIP leads you on a structured, comprehensive assessment, outcome measure evaluation, treatment planning process and treatment/homecare course.
These modules require that you complete the relevant preparatory course at TouchU (eg. the Supraspinatus course must be passed on the written exam prior to being able to take the Supraspinatus Knowledge into Practice course).
Each KIP consists of a comprehensive series of worksheets that teach and allow you to audit your practice behaviours. There may or may not be videos associated with a KIP. Upon completion of the module you will have a 15 - 25 page document that demonstrates a comprehensive application of skills in the service of a client. There is no test, but you must attest that you actually practiced these behaviours before a Certificate of Learning is issued.
