CRAFTA Jam Session

Focused review and practice of CRAFTA techniques limited to 10 participants

Description

The quarterly CRAFTA Jam sessions are set up for PT's and other clinicians who have completed the CRAFTA Foundations course and are looking for some extra practice... so why don't you go ahead and come jam with a CRAFTA Assistant Instructor and keep your skill set fresh.

The techniques and ideas presented in CRAFTA courses are often new to many people taking the courses and there are often few people in an area who are treating head or jaw at all, let alone with CRAFTA techniques. This can make creating a study group or finding a group of people to bounce ideas off on complex cases difficult to find. Also, as continuing education budgets decrease, it can be difficult to advance through the CRAFTA series as quickly as many people wish. These Jam Sessions will help give you a group of people to practice with and learn from the guidance of a CRAFTA Instructor so you can stay on top of your skills along with deepening your knowledge and use of the CRAFTA concepts and techniques.

Course CEUs

There are no CEU's awarded for the CRAFTA Jam sessions.

Course Discounts

A discount of 10% will be applied automatically when you register for 3 or more jam sessions on one ticket.

Course Objectives

During the CRAFTA Jam Sessions, you will:

  • Practice the various techniques you have learned during the course. While we may not always be able to review all techniques, priority will be given to techniques of interest to several participants or techniques that may have not been reviewed during previous jam sessions;
  • Receive instruction/feedback from the instructor during group practice;
  • Give/receive feedback from other participating practitioners during breakout sessions;
  • Answer any questions you may have about previous course material;
  • Discuss patient cases.

Course Schedule

The jam sessions are participant driven. Clinicians will determine what, and techniques are practiced during the Jam session by emailing the instructor a list of techniques they wish to cover before the session. We will cover as many techniques as possible.  

Sessions will starit at 7pm CST and lasting 1.5-2 hours.

Current sessions scheduled for:

July 11, 2023 7pm-8:30/9pm CDT

Oct 10, 2023 7pm-8:30/9pm CDT

Jan 9, 2023 7pm-8:30/9pm CDT 

During the jam session, you will:

  • Practice different techniques you have learned thus far
  • We may not have time for all the techniques everyone wants to review in one particular session and priority will be given to techniques that more people have questions on have not been reviewed recently in past Jam Sessions.
  • Receive instruction/feedback from the instructor during group practice
  • Give/receive feedback from other participating practitioners during breakout sessions
  • Answer any questions you may have about previous course material
  • Discuss patient cases
  • Approximately one hour will be dedicated to practicing techniques and 30 min to case review and concepts. 

Sessions are limited to 10 participants and you must register ahead of time.

All Jam Sessions are held online
