PAIN THERAPY PRACTITIONER [PTP] & THE CPT
You should know that the Academy also grants certificates of completion so if you decide not to write the NASM exam you will graduate with the Academy & be granted practice licensing certification that will allow you to work with Better Call Doc. That means more patient and client referrals to you, opportunities to do business with us, join our faculty team and expand your knowledge with our programs that allow you to treat pain such as the Pain Therapy Practitioner program. [PTP]
​
Our style of teaching uses a university-based approach that will guarantee your success and reframe your learning style to being a life-long learning. We use a M.I.C. (copyright) approach to teaching which allows you to graduate faster than the typical timeline of NASM courses. This is accomplished with individualized synchronous (live) Mentoring, Instruction and Coaching. So once you graduate, you too can become an Academy M.I.C., recruit and help other future trainers.
