This program, developed by The McKenzie Institute^® USA, provides clinics the opportunity to have highly experienced clinical mentors on-site to share their expertise with the entire clinic staff. The goal is to increase staff confidence and ultimately to improve your outcomes by addressing any weaknesses and/or concerns in the McKenzie Method^® of Mechanical Diagnosis and Therapy.

The McKenzie Institute will provide a questionnaire to specify your concerns and wishes. A follow-up quiz to assess the present level of understanding of your staff will complete the picture.

The clinic will need to provide a room for lectures and a schedule of one-on-one time to observe and consult with each therapist. The individual observation time will be conducted in private. If you wish, the clinical mentors will evaluate and treat a patient with the entire clinic staff similar to the experience with the Institute's Part A-E education program.
