Hand Rehabilitation Foundation is proud to offer a 3-day educational tutorial at the Philadelphia Hand to Shoulder Center. Tutorial participants will shadow the surgeons and therapists in the office, in surgery and in therapy. Supplementing the 3-day observation are structured learning opportunities including hands-on labs, didactic sessions and splint fabrication. Participants can select from a menu of topics based on their needs and interests. Participants will earn 24 contact hours (8 hours per day).
