EIM students are exposed to a vast community of evidence-based practitioners, both as instructors and colleagues, all embracing best business practices in an Executive MBA-style format. Focus is on the operations management aspect of running a practice, with a clinical component in Radiology, Med Screening/Pharmacology and EBP. The Executive Program offers a TDPT option as well.
EIM, in partnership with The Private Practice Section of APTA and The Educational Institute for Private Practice Physical Therapy, is closely associated with many of the best academic programs and other key stakeholder groups in the physical therapy profession. PPS members receive a discount on tuition.
EIM is privileged to be associated with a world class faculty from a variety of the best practices and academic programs in the country who are internationally recognized for their contributions to education, research, and practice management.
