to perform Neurac treatment. To adapt to your needs and preferences, weoffer you the choice between practical courses in-person or practicalcourses online.

Online Supervised
Practical Training

Number of Participants: Max 8 students per session
Duration: Up to 2 hours

an additional mandatory learning activity

WhatPurpose

Preparations

When selecting the online practical course, thestudent must complete an additional learning
activity - the Online Supervised Practical
Training (OSPT). This is an online session
where the NEP students perform practicaldemonstrations under supervision by an NEPinstructor. The OSPT is scheduled frequently,
conducted via the online education platform, andmoderated by a NEP instructor. The student will
prepare a practical question related to content
taught in the practical course. If the student has
no specific question, the NEP instructor will givea practical task. The student will receive
feedback and support from the instructor during
the practical demonstration.

Learning practical skills online can bechallenging as no guidance and feedback isreceived. Because of this, we offer the OSPT inaddition to the practical online course. The
purpose of the OSPT is to help the NEP student
to improve the practical handling and applicationof the techniques by giving guidance andfeedback during practical demonstrations doneby the student. This will prepare him/her for thesemester exam.

To attend the OSPT, the student need access toa Redcord Workstation Professional (+ Redcord
Stimula for 2nd and 3rd semester) and a partnerthat can act as a patient during the practicaldemonstrations. The student must prepare apractical question which is relevant for him/herand within the scope of the practical course (e.g.,How do I proceed with the Neurac treatment
based on certain score on the test OR Do I
evaluate this test correct OR How do I execute
this Neurac treatment with regards toprogression). The student will be asked to do apractical demonstration related to the question.
Guidance will be given by the NEP instructor asneeded. Each participant will get the same timeof attention.

8CaseReport

WhatPurpose

After completing the in-person practical course OR the online
practical course + Online Supervised Practical Training, the next
step is to do a written case report. The student will submit thecase report on the platform for evaluation. Evaluation will bepass/fail.

The work with the case report will enable the student to reflect
on and display the theoretical understanding of the clinicalapplication of Neurac according to NEP level. This will facilitate
more awareness of why we do what we do which will strengthen
the student`s abilities to make good clinical decisions related to
Neurac treatment. The work on the case report will improve thelearning outcome.
The case report will be evaluated by Redcord Education. The
student must receive a pass on the case report to qualify for thepractical semester exam.

1st Semester

2nd Semester

3rd Semester

The case report at 1st semester is based on apremade case where the student answer
questions that will challenge her/his clinicalunderstanding of the method. The form with caseand questions can be accessed on the platform.

The case report at the 2nd semester iscompleted by using a template. The student
complete the case report by filling out thetemplate. Beside reporting information fromanamnesis, findings from clinical examination,and the treatment plan, the student must show
reflections on the clinical reasoning behind
selected Neurac tests/protocols and treatment
plan. The case report template can be accessedon the platform. At the 2nd semester, the casereport build the foundation of the semester exam.

The case report at 3rd semester is completed byusing a template. Compared to the case reportfrom 2nd semester, the student must also show
reflections around clinical reasoning along thecourse of treatment. The case report template
can be accessed on the platform. At the 3rdsemester, the case report build the foundation ofthe semester exam.

exam is a practical exam where the student must show thatthey have the practical skillset and competence needed toproceed to next level. The student receives a clinical taskthat should be prepared, demonstrated, videotaped, andsubmitted on the education platform for evaluation. For 2nd
and 3rd semester, the practical semester exam is based on
the case report. A certified NEP instructor representing
Redcord Education complete the evaluation. If the student
