NEW! Basics of Research Literacy (Click here to register)
In order to build evidence-based practices, massage therapists and bodyworkers must be able to access, evaluate and use research results in real life. Participants will learn the basics of research literacy: what research is, how to do a literature search and critically review current literature, and how to evaluate the findings in research studies based on the evidence presented. Participants will also learn the effective use of online research skills, including the use of search engines and how to access and use the relevant data bases. This is an interactive, online, self-paced course with no time limit for completion.

This course was created pro bono by Education and Training Solutions as a fund raiser for the Massage Therapy Foundation and 65% of the proceeds will go back to the Foundation.

You will receive 6 hours of approved NCBTMB continuing education when you complete the course.
Cost: $75  ($65 for five or more registering on the same credit card.  Please email Jan for instructions

Massage therapist, Rosemary Chunco, says:
“This course is a vital first step for every therapist wishing to be informed by research. It not only demonstrates the reasoning behind *why* every therapist needs the ability to find and critique research, but it equips the student with the first steps in how to do that, with examples that we all can relate to. As an added bonus, it was also engaging and fun.”

Here is what one reviewer said about the course: “I really think it is a wonderful resource for anyone new to on-line teaching, and even for people like myself who have been teaching on-line for the past several years. I wish I had access to a course or training program like this when I first started because you have really put together a great collection of very useful & relevant information.” ~Sara Demers, MA, JD
