• The terminology and algorithm of physical therapy and how they can be applied to the diagnosis and treatment of the canine patient.
• State-of-the-art rehabilitation techniques and ways to integrate them successfully into a practice.
• The business of canine rehabilitation including facility design, equipment selection, and dealing with suppliers.
• The laws and ethics that apply to canine rehabilitation.
  

The CCRT curriculum includes two required classes and one elective.

An open-book, take-home final exam is given at the end of each class. Students have 30 days to complete each exam, and collaboration with fellow classmates is encouraged. In order to be certified, they must also submit one case report within six months of successfully completing the coursework.
