Continuing Education Courses with Carolyn McManus

Carolyn offers online continuing education courses through MedBridge. These courses are for professionals with a general practice or any specialty.

Carolyn brings a unique wealth of knowledge and experience in mindfulness and patient care to her professional courses. Her ability to discuss the latest research and guide the fundamental practices of mindfulness provides her audience with the scientific basis and a rich experiential introduction to the applications of mindfulness to both patient care and provider self-care. Carolyn invites participants to directly experience how mindfulness is central to their well-being and the therapeutic alliance as well as to a patient’s self-efficacy and healing. In doing so, her training programs offer a critical ingredient to optimize clinical care.”

We cannot thank you enough for providing such a wonderful course to our program participants. I don’t think I have ever seen such a high percentage of glowing evaluations for a Washington State PT Association course.”

Carolyn is a great presenter. She brings a wealth of knowledge and clinical experience to teaching. I learned lots of practical strategies to offer my patients and to keep me calm. Taking her course has made me a better clinician and a more mindful, happier therapist.”

Lori Predmore, PT, Seattle, WA

Carolyn is the most amazing instructor. You can feel her kindness and compassion throughout the course. I learned a great amount about pain, mindfulness and most importantly, how to be a more attentive and compassionate provider. She took a complex topic and discussed it with ease.”
– Allison Lindeman, DPT, San Carlos, CA

I absolutely loved this course! I feel like this has been the missing piece of my practice; something I felt was innately needed but was unaware of the research backing and the easy ways to incorporate the material. I feel this information has really bridged some gaps in the skills that I have and I am thrilled to have better ways to explain the cognitive and emotional aspects of pain. I think all PTs should take this course and am hoping to bring the information to an inservice for my colleagues.
