eRehab Training Series
Finding cost-effective ways to train rehabilitation staff is a continuing challenge for everyone involved with staff development and training. Finding the time for training can be as challenging as the actual cost of the training. There has been considerable growth in web-based, online training as a way to reach rehabilitation professionals.

eRehab offers short (15-60 minutes), informative modules that target entry level staff and also work well as refresher training for existing staff that may not have strong backgrounds in rehabilitation. For more information visit the website at http://www.erehab.org/.
