Pediatric Hospital Based Massage -- Full Course, 2027
This bundle includes the full 2027 Pediatric Hospital Based Massage course: both online and in-person modules.
Healwell's Pediatric Hospital Based Massage Therapy Program is a five-day intensive continuing education experience for licensed massage therapists ready to practice at the highest level. You will work with patients and providers at Children's National Medical Center in Washington, DC.
This course runs at the same time as the adult HBMT program, allowing students from the pediatric and adult tracks to learn foundational protocols together, and to have regular opportunities to reconnect and learn from each other throughout the week. You'll leave with sharper critical thinking skills, hands-on clinical experience with real pediatric patients, and a deepened sense of what it means to practice with compassion and purpose in a healthcare setting.
The program consists of online and in-person modules. All online modules must be completed before students can participate in the five-day in-person module. This bundle includes all the online modules. If you have already purchased the online modules, email [email protected] to register for the live course.
*Please Note: You must have a current flu shot and all available COVID vaccinations and boosters to participate in this program, as well as complying with the hospital's vaccination requirements.
*Please note: In order to be eligible for CE credit, you must register with your full name (as it appears on your professional license) and your license state and number.
This course is approved by NCBTMB for a total of 45 CEs (10 CEs online, and 35 CEs in person)
