Employees at top companies are mastering AI skills with the Workplace AI Institute
You became a physical therapist to help people move and recover, not to spend your lunch break and your evenings catching up on documentation.
Physical therapists face one of the worst documentation burdens in healthcare. Every patient encounter requires a daily note. Evaluations take 30 to 45 minutes to write. Progress reports pile up at recertification deadlines. Home exercise programs need to be individualized for each patient. And insurance companies demand increasingly detailed justification for every visit, or they stop paying. Most PTs document through lunch, after their last patient, and on weekends.
The PTs who are leaving work on time aren't seeing fewer patients. They're using AI to draft treatment notes, create home exercise programs, write evaluation reports, and handle the insurance communication that threatens their revenue. AI doesn't evaluate patients or decide treatment approaches. It handles the documentation so you can focus on the clinical reasoning and hands-on care that patients need.
This course teaches you how to use AI for the specific tasks that consume PT practice time. You'll learn to document faster, create patient materials on demand, write insurance narratives that protect your visits, and build therapeutic resources without starting from a blank page. No tech background needed.

★★★★★
"I wanted to share my appreciation for the recent AI course. I found the training extremely informative and it gave me a much deeper understanding of how AI works and how it can support our claims processes."
"Physical therapists spend an estimated a significant share of their working time on documentation, and Most PTs report that paperwork is the leading cause of burnout in their career."
Workforce surveys consistently show that documentation burden is the top complaint among physical therapy professionals. PTs who reduce documentation time report better work-life balance, higher job satisfaction, and improved patient outcomes because they can focus more attention on each treatment session.
