CLINICAL LADDER PROGRAM
Our Clinical Ladder Program helps our therapists increase their knowledge – and career potential – by offering a chance for them to attain their clinical goals and then share that knowledge to benefit our patients.
The Clinical Ladder team is viewed as an extension of clinical operations. This team allows RehabCare to expand core program content to a broad, national base to ensure our programs are expanding in the appropriate areas. The development of specific programs in various regions helps us continue to meet our goals of quality patient care throughout the continuum.
