SEATTLE, WA – MedBridge, an industry-leading developer of clinical education and patient engagement software, continues its successful contribution to clinical excellence among physical therapists with its growing Certification Prep Program suite. Just one year after launching the Neurologic Clinical Specialist (NCS) Certification Prep Program, 98 percent of clinicians who studied with MedBridge prep materials passed the 2018 NCS board exam.
The NCS Prep Program was released in 2017 to help distinguish physical therapists with advanced clinical knowledge, experience, and skill in neurologic practice. MedBridge prep materials helped over 20 percent of all NCS exam takers receive passing scores this year.
Overall this year, 93 percent of subscribers who studied with MedBridge Certification Prep Programs passed their board exams.* A majority (93 percent) of exam passers feel MedBridge Prep Programs contributed to their success, while a strong 96 percent of users noted that they would refer the programs to a colleague.

MedBridge currently offers exam prep programs for Physical Therapists pursuing Orthopaedic Certified Specialization (OCS), Sport Certified Specialization (SCS), Neurologic Certified Specialization (NCS), and Geriatric Certified Specialization (GCS). In the fall of 2018, MedBridge will extend its high-quality Certification Prep Program offerings with the release of the Pediatric Certified Specialist (PCS) Prep Program.
