Advanced Vestibular Physical Therapist (AVPT) Certification Modules 1-4
The Advanced Vestibular Certificate Program is a comprehensive didactic experience in vestibular physical therapy that prepares and certifies physical therapists to be frontline providers for patients experiencing balance, dizziness and abnormal proprioception.
The AVPT certification is delivered in a highly innovative format that allows participants from anywhere in the world to experience cutting-edge vestibular content from the University of Pittsburgh with limited travel. The hybrid format includes self-paced online coursework, synchronous virtual meetings via Zoom, and four interactive weekend workshops. The content is delivered in four specific modules and arranged by content.
