FEEDBACK FROM FELLOW CANADIAN CLINICIANS ON RECENT COURSES:
- Over the past few days, I have been re-assessing patients with a seemingly extremity issue with MDT who I previously classified using a pathoanatomical approach. It is amazing to see how often there is a spinal source and how in many cases, rapid improvement occurs. It truly amazes the patient…and me. I will definitely take part D in the future. Thanks Richard!
- I feel that the MDT courses have advanced my practice knowledge by multiple years and instilled more confidence when treating more complicated patients.
- MDT is a great way to assess consistently and objectively. Screening the spine at all times (for extremities) really helps out in terms of classifying which will lead to proper management in a time efficient manner.
- I have been using the MDT approach in my clinical practice for 10 years. The outcomes have been excellent and my patients have been very happy with the results.
