Athletico joins over 1,100 organizations that have integrated the MedBridge platform to provide clinical education and patient engagement solutions for physical therapists, occupational therapists, and athletic trainers. The fully customizable software suite can be integrated with a client’s EMR and HR systems for seamless data efficiency.

Why Therapists Love MedBridge

“I love Medbridge because it allows me to browse different education programs at my own pace and to learn about other subjects other than my primary focus of pelvic health. This allows me to keep abreast of current research in various areas of PT.”
