NEW! A unique distance learning approach which complies with most state requirements for Physical Agent Modalities Certification.

The Physical Agent Modalities Practitioner Credentialing Agency, LLC (PAMPCA), has designed a continuing education course in PAMs for the busy therapist.
You do not have to set aside multiple weekends to complete your credentialing training in physical agent modalities. Instead, you learn via the Internet in the comfort of your home or in small study groups and then attend only one two-day workshop. Our successful graduates are awarded 45 contact hours of continuing education credits through Saginaw Valley State University.
